Bought an 05 MCS a couple of weeks ago and passenger motor mount needed to be replaced. Picked up a VT motor mount yesterday from ColinGreene (NAM Member) who also explained how easy it is to replace. Thanks to Colin and several NAM threads, I did my first DIY project on the mini.

Here is the OEM mount that was almost bone dry:

Thanks NAM!

 

How do you like it? Why do you like it?

Put them on late last night and haven't driven the car much. I was told they have to settle in. I didn't notice additional vibration. The process was pretty simple thanks to the NAM write-ups and tips from Colin when I picked the mount up. I was reading the steps on my mac as I was doing the install.

 

Does Collin have a website, or do I just PM him if I want to order one?

To get one from VT directly is like $300 if I remember right, and then there's shipping from UK. Can Collin really get one cheaper for me? Wondering how he does that

He is a member on here ColinGreene. You can shoot him a pm. Picked it up from him in lieu of shipping (both live in SoCal) and he was pretty helpful about the install (along with the NAM write-ups). The install was less intimidating than I thought. I just followed the write-up on here to the letter.

 

It looks like you have a washer in between the top of the mount and the motor mount arm.
I would check on this and if it is the case remove it.
Outside of that looks good.
It was nice to meet you and your car is spotless!

 

What are you guys paying for this mount?

 

Thanks Colin. Done.

 

Bram, I have a spare mount if you would like one.
