I think I have a RSM out on my passenger side. I was planning to take it to the dealer to get it replaced before my warrenty runs out(early April). I recall reading somewhere about using mount off an E46. Anyone know about this? I was going to go JTD mounts but I figured if I didn't have to pay for them now I could wait. Also should the dealer replace both at the same time?

Thanks

The recommended upgrade is to the e46 convertible/m3 coupe rsm's. (they are the same part).

You can also use the reinforcement plate from the z3 to stiffen the mounting area.

Ben Liaw did a writeup on uuc's site that includes part numbers:
