Here's the torn engine mount with leaking fluid

How about the trans mounts?

Changed fluids on the e53. Front diff was a PIA but shifts much smoother now after new ATF. Still need to change transfer case fluid

I can't wait to change mine out (yrans/engine mounts). @ >223,000 I can only imagine what they look like.

Trans mounts are still in good shape, for now.

What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Headlight bulb failed. Xenon HID Headlight Low Beam - D2S bulb. Genuine BMW bulb $158, $99 Sylvania at Advanced Auto. I replaced it for only $10 with Kensun brand bulb from Amazon Prime. Easy DIY job. Works great.

I had some warranty work done by the bodyshop that redid the hood after someone backed into me. The clearcoat was never right, and they were great when I went back in... Looks factory now. Figured it deserved a good cleaning and back-to black on some of the trim.

As a fellow TiAg, I'm still trying to decide if i want to make the switch to clears all around. I kinda like the contrast of Amber on TiAG, especially up front, but I saw some RCR tails in the flesh on a Graphite grey and it looked really good. Im tornAttachment 29386 Picture for comparison
Edit: Funny. After looking at them back to back for a few minutes. I think the clears are the way to go

I do like the ambers on the front of TiAg, but I'll vote RCR every time. The lack of RCR tails on the coupe is my biggest complaint.
