{"product_id":"genuine-rear-shock-mount","title":"Genuine Rear Shock Mount","description":"The BMW Genuine Parts 33526779670 functions as a rear shock mount (RSM), crucial for connecting the upper portion of the rear shock absorber to the vehicle's chassis. This part is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) mount for the E46 M3 and is considered an upgrade for other compatible BMW models.\n\nStock rear shock mounts are a common failure point due to the rubber separating from the metal base, potentially leading to the shock top ending up in the trunk. This specific part number is for the standard mount, though heavy-duty options like the E30 convertible and E46 M3 mounts exist. The sourced information indicates that this Lemforder-manufactured mount meets original BMW design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved, offering a virtually identical alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts.\n\nThis rear shock mount is compatible with a wide range of BMW 3 Series (E30, E36, E46), Z3 (E36\/7, E36\/8), and Z4 (E85, E86) models, covering various engines and model years from 1984 to 2008. Specific fitment details include:\n\n*   **3 Series E30 (84-91):** 318i, 318is, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, 325ix, M3\n*   **3 Series E36 (92-99):** 318i (M42, M44), 318ic (M42, M44), 318is (M42, M44), 323ic, 323is, 325i, 325ic, 325is, 328i, 328ic, 328is, M3 (1995), M3 (96-99)\n*   **3 Series E36\/5 (95-99):** 318ti (M42, M44)\n*   **3 Series E46 (99-05):** 323Ci, 323i, 325Ci, 325i, 325xi, 328Ci, 328i, 330Ci, 330i, 330xi, M3\n*   **Z Series E36\/7 \/ E36\/8 Z3 (96-02):** Z3 1.9, Z3 2.3, Z3 2.5, Z3 2.8 (97-98), Z3 2.8 (99-00), Z3 3.0, Z3 M - S52, Z3 M - S54\n*   **Z Series E85 \/ E86 Z4 (03-08):** Z4 2.5i (M54), Z4 3.0i (M54), Z4 3.0i (N52), Z4 3.0si (N52), Z4 M.\n\nIt is important to note that while this is an OEM-style replacement, BimmerWorld strongly recommends more robust options like the E46 M3, Meyle HD, Repair Shop, or Powerflex mounts due to their improved designs over the original. Gasket and hardware are sold separately. The product comes with a two-year warranty.","brand":"BMW Genuine Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872385102136,"sku":"33526779670","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/genuine-rear-shock-mount","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
