polyurethane engine mounts

i was curious who has them on their r56 and if they like them? once installed did it do anything to help the "thud" between hard shifts?

thank you

The mounts noticeably helped. Probably would not want to use them in sub-zero winter areas because as they stiffen, they would allow too much vibration. This vibration, in cold weather, is only noticeable for a minute or two. Shifting engages more positively and engine does not move around much anymore at full throttle.
Simple install: remove one bolt, loosen a second bolt, pop in two inserts, and retighten.
