Front struts/shocks on the E46 323i/325i/328i/330i, E46 325xi/330xi, E39 525i/528i/530i, and E83 X3 are mounted to the chassis with this front upper strut mount. It's a dense rubber mount that also incorporates a bearing that allows the strut shaft to rotate as the steering changes. Over time the rubber breaks down and the bearing wears out and the entire mount should be replaced.

This is a Genuine BMW E46, E39, X3 front strut mount kit with a two year warranty. These Value Line kits tend to be more expensive than OEM replacement parts but they include more parts to make the installation smoother and make shopping easier. They are the ideal packaged kit for customers who insist on Genuine BMW parts and nothing else.
