Thanks for sharing you experience. I'll be replace my mounts once again cause I think they failed. This time around I trying something to see if it extends the life of the OE type.

I'll report more later.

Well. replaced my mounts with OE replacements and this time around decide to add a protective shield to see if it will help "prolong" the life. I believe premature failure is due to heat. Headers are right there.
Oddly enough the e36M and e46M both had shield on their mount, they also had mount failures but I seen reports on e9xM fail as soon as 35k-ish miles.
I ordered e36M shields and modified them, see below. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...e/11811138228/

enough said, here are results:
