A couple BE bearings left. Will be out of stock until January after this batch is gone!

Picked up my M3 from Sonic MS with new rod bearings (and spark plug change while it was in there). Work completed on schedule and M3 is definitely running smoother with the new oil and plugs!

Can you tell me what motor mount options there are?
OEM & Vibra-Technic are the only ones I know of.
How does the Vibra-Technic rate to the OEM?

Thanks for the help

There were many other options actually. I just stuck with OEM because I didn't want a harsher feel to the car. Turner, Group N, Bimmerworld are some of the other options. You can actually see the design differences and understand about how much difference there will be.

Just an FYI, looks like Sonic MS is now out of business.

We are not out of business!

Regarding the thread TTony is talking about, it is one customer spreading rumors. I can not say much more about that since we have lawyers involved taking care of that case.

The rod bearing special is still active, and we have BE bearings in stock!

Nah. You're workmanship and business approach is shit, and your owner is a sack of shit. Countless bad things heard about you while I was shopping around for a rod bearing service. Stick to doing tires, since that what your labeled as on Google Maps. But you'll find a way to screw that up too.
