Hello All,
Appreciate recommendations if I can go the OEM replacement part route - Corteco is the only Brand I find as replacement for OEM.
How do they perform compared to genuine BMW?
I'm leaning toward using the genuine one even thought they cost more.

What do you guys suggest ?

No idea on the brand but what makes you feel that you need to replace them? I have a 2011 535i with 70k miles and they seem fine on mine.

Corteco is the OE for BMW engine mounts

I see the driver side mount collapsed.
Right now I'm at 49k on a 13 F10.
It pretty weird that the mounts have such a low life compared to others.

And also these are my signs that indicated something is wrong.

1. Early morning start have increased vibrations.
2. Stop at traffic light you will notice vibrations.
3. When I go over bump I hear a slight thud.

So are they in par with the quality of genuine one?
As they seem to cost half of what genuine costs.
I really don't want to take the risk of going cheap just to save a hundred bucks and regret later.
I read some stores where the genuine are much better in suppressing vibrations compared to OE replacements.

Corteco makes the engine mounts in BMWs

They are the OE, not an OEM
