And the shop has no visual evidence of any prior bodywork to that car?!? Fittings not OEM, labels not original, not in the right place...vacuum hose labels look like they were re-applied, etc etc?


Pretty sure those are regular bolts, but single use.



Glad it is sorted now.

Also seems weird that the motor mounts were 'from Germany only'. Last time I checked fcpeuro and others carry them in stock. Though I am speaking from m57 perspective, I'm unclear of your motor however.
