Damn, that's good info though. I feel that the E46 with the weaker suframe would have probably gone kaput. BMW probably got sick of the subframe class action and just made it beefy as hell to avoid the same issue.
No complaints from me though.

I do have 6MT. How much of a PITA is it to install the mount? Any updates?
