Have you guys been just making them as tight as possible or actually going with the specs ?

UUCs specs are wrong. Go with the OEM specs from the Bentley.

Torque specs from the Bimmertools guide shows 15.5 Ft/lb for both the crossmember to body and trans to rubber mount.

This weekend I decided to try the black version of the uuc trans mounts with the enforcer cups. Much less noise and vibration however imo still too much for a bone stock daily driver. So I removed them and put the OEM mounts back in.
Btw this time I torqued them to factory specs.
Any other options out there that are an improvement over stock but also don't provide extra vibration and noise ?

The OEM trans mounts are way to squishy even though they are brand new.
Basically trying to achieve the nice crisp feeling from the shifter that you get with the poly mounts without any added noise or vibrations.
Are the rogue mounts rubber or poly ?

You have to sacrafice a little NVH for performance. Don't see the point in your complaining. You haven't driven on any mount long enough to break them in. Hope you know what you're doing.

A little nvh is one thing. But when you feel it through the seat especially at 2000rpm, IMO that's a bit too much.
Any poly is not going to become softer. And will be harder during the colder climates.

Try the E46 M3 transmission mounts. They're significantly stiffer than the mounts found on all other BMWs, but still rubber so they'll have some degree of isolation.
