    Avoid buying anything but genuine or lemforder mounts

    I'd imagine I'm best going to dealership here?

    I've used febi bilstein in the past on my old a4 and my gti, the quality was crap, they didn't last any length of time. I wouldn't have them on my car.

    Iv also heard of lemforder (bought outside bmw ) and the qualitys not the same they can crap out in as little as 2 years

    I for one have no issue using febi lemforder are not the only manufacturer in the world that can make a block of rubber that lasts its merely brand snobbery that nothing else can compare to the brand that bmw used at that time

    I'm just posting from my own personal experience of febi bilstein being relentlessly shit, I'm also not talking about them going in years, the parts lasted months. I replaced them all with genuine items and had no subsequent issues.

    The engine mounts of the e39 are oil filled and vacuum actuated, not your run of the mill mount, I also wouldn't fancy having to change them twice in a short period of time.

    If cost was the same or even a small bit higher Id go for lemforder myself , but I researched febi Bilstein heavily before grabbing some tie rod assemblys they were half the price of lemforder at the time and I found little issue online most were very happy with them iv 4 drop links on over a year without issue is well still look new
