Powerflex Tuneable Engine Mounts PFF5-4650
I installed Powerflex Tuneable Engine Mounts PFF5-4650 yesterday. Fitment was perfect.
This has very little more vibration than stock without 4 black polyurethane insert pins at idle. The vibration disappears during driving. Considering my mod is race seat with floor mats removal, I'm very satisfied with this. I did't have test driving with 4 insert pins yet. And, these are about 0.2"(5mm) higher than stock. I'm going to test these at the track asap.

As far as I know, this has just been released. The information was limited, so I bought it on the basis of the company's reputation.

It's only been a day since I installed it, so I can't give you guys more information yet.

Neat. But the fewer moving parts a component has the stronger it tends to be.
I am iffy on long term reliability of "rebuildable" mounts from this brand and another. |

Here is new updates after 6 trackdays.
<without 4 black PU pins> Very slight increase in vibration at idle/stop but no difference in nvh from stock. The improvement in response and shift feeling of DCT is immediately noticeable, especially in high rpm. <with 4 black PU pins> Not yet. Because I was very satisfied without pins, so I didn't test it. I'm going to test it on next trackday. IMO, If you use this without pins, I think this kit can achieve both performance and comfort at the same time.

Recently I removed Powerflex's, installed BW's.
The only reason for changing is because the height of BW mount is 5mm lower than pwerflex. NVH : powerflex with pins > powerflex without pins > BW IMO, I don't know the difference between BW and oem.

After installing BW, I thought it was a OEM mount. If you are very x100 sensitive, you may notice a difference from OEM, but I can't feel any difference, even sitting in my bucket seat with race steering wheel. I don't know the reason I can't feel the difference. because my idle rpm is 750~800? IMO, It's clear that BW is much closer to genuine than powerflex, but In terms of performance, powerflex seems to be a bit better than BW.

I have the PF engine mounts installed on my e92 M3. You can feel engine vibration a bit more at idle compared to stock but that’s it. I’d say it’s increased NVH at idle by ~15% over stock mounts (with GC camber plates). Additional NVH disappears as soon as you start driving.
