I have an 05 MCSC with 7K on it. She went in for service the other day and was told the front passenger strut mount is cracked. This is my wife's car and she doesn't remember hitting anything hard while driving. There is no damage/stratches to the rim. The dealership wants $370 to replace it. I did not have it done...I figure I can do it myself for less.
Question...where can I get a front passenger strut mount of an 05 MCSC?
Thanks in advance.

 

Try Classic Mini in Ohio. Good pricing on parts.

 

Why wouldn't the dealer cover this under the warranty?

 

take it to another dealer, those mounts get replaced under warranty, they have issues.....u would think BMW/MINI would have taken care of this faulty/soft strut mount problem by now

 

^^ +1, i would definitely take it to another dealership.

 

By mount do you mean the part that is attached to the strut or the metal piece on the body that the strut mounts to?

 

I wish I could...Scottsdale MINI is the ONLY dealer in Arizona.

 

I don't know. I was told by the dealer that it needed a new strut mount. I havn't had time to look at it to see what they are talking about.

 

Number 1 in the drawing is the part lots of people are finding broken.
