Front Strut Mount, Rein - E82, E88, E90, E91, E92, E93, E60, E61, E84

Front struts/shocks on the E82 128i/135i, E9X 325i/328i/330i/335d/335i, E60 525xi/528xi/530xi/535xi, E84 X1 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 to rotate as the steering changes. Over time the rubber breaks down and the bearing wears out and the entire mount should be replaced.

31336760943 vs 31306775098 strut mounts. BMW listed both part numbers over the course of E9X production. The 943 is most commonly associated with standard suspension while the 098 is most commonly linked to M Sport/Sport suspensions (although there are exceptions). Visually and geometry-wise they are identical. BMW originally used aluminum for the 943 housing while the 098 used steel. This Rein part replaces 31306775098 and has a steel housing. The alignment pin is pressed into the housing.

This is a OEM-spec strut mount manufactured by Rein (CRP) Automotive - an original supplier to BMW for many steering and suspension components. As an OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
