Anyone ever use the rebuild-able ones from RevShift on an E53? Same price as Genuine BMW part, just needs near perfect driveline alignment. BMW Race Flex Disc - (LK=96mm/12mm) Or this? Seems to be designed better for slight driveline mis-alignment. https://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/view...dproduct=12521

Stay away from the revshift ones. People have bad experiences on the e30 forums. From what I understand people experience bearing failures when running soild ones. Maybe just a correlation but I wouldn't take the risk.

Yeah, I saw on the RevShift website their parts require near perfect driveline alignment, not much flex in the poly bushes.
The rubber bushes in the 2nd link allow for more flex. Downside, double the cost vs Genuine BMW part.

Is there a reason you want to go with a soild one? The stock one isn't exactly failure prone.
Also the ratcheting sound is probably the chain. I got the same one off of eBay from a vendor that cobra sells, but for $70 with 1 day shipping.

It seems BMW has improved the flex disc design post E53, OE are now aluminium and rubber.
https://www.ecstuning.com/ES2500955/...FVc1aQod_k4D4Q Yeah, I will go with Cobra too. Just ripping it totally down to ensure I have a list of ALL the needed parts before ordering.

Okay so if you have over 100K on your X5 you would be surprised what a difference a new set of engine mounts makes on the X5. I had a few vibration transmission coming into the cabin of the X5 . I had changed the trans mounts last year and today with my brother tackled the engine mounts. I did have the beauty of a lift to do the exchange and glad I did. I did lower the subframe (6 bolts) used one stand to elevate the engine to remove and install the new engine mounts. Used an additional two stands to guide the subframe back in place. Once finished the engine mounts I went ahead and removed the fuel tank skid-plate and replaced the vehicle fuel filter. Good day for the X

I finally uploaded the DIY video for repairing the transfer case actuator with a new gear. I completed the repair in December 2015 and we have had zero issues since!
The BMW service centers will tell you that the entire transfer case needs to be replaced at a cost of over $4,000 simply because they do not replace the actuator motor or the plastic gear inside it. We also did a drain and fill of the transfer case with fresh BMW fluid after replacing the gear. Hope this helps someone get back on the road!
