Is there a supporting vendor that can organize/offer a group purchase on the UUC tranny mount/enforcer kit? I'm sure a lot of us could benefit from this.

Thanks!

I'll see what I can do. Perhaps it'd be fun to just do a UUC product-wide sales event? I'll let you know Tuesday or Wednesday (gotta catch up with all those weekend e-mails tomorrow!).

As always, no promises, but hopefully the ol' M3 motorwerks will come through. :biglaughb

Guys, my sincere apologies for not keeping up to date on this. To be perfectly honest, it slipped my mind completely. I've been breaking my back trying to get a new site design and catalog in place and handle some other issues, so I simply haven't been able to get to this.

Monday it is. Guys, don't be shy about bugging me -- a helpful PM to remind me would be MUCH appreciated. ;)

Guys, a UUC product-wide sale is forthcoming! :D This is for ALL UUC motorwerks products.

However, I can't release pricing publicly for each item, so those of you interested in a product will need to e-mail us directly: info@m3motorwerks.com is the appropriate address. Feel free to e-mail right now, and we'll get you pricing.

The OFFICIAL sale will begin in around 1 week. :)

Those of you who have sent e-mails (and there are a LOT of you), bear with me. I've got some packages to get out the door and some orders to handle today, so I may not be able to respond until tomorrow.

Absolutely. We accept Visa or MasterCard. For now, you'll need to give us a call (numbers below) since this is a special price you can't get through our site.

For those that don't mind waiting a day or two, I'm actually in the process of putting together a "special-order / sale" page on my site where you can place orders using your credit card for either sale items or special-order items that M3 motorwerks quotes you on. All you'll have to do is enter in your billing, shipping, and CC info along with the price & description of the item you're buying.

Very easy, very safe, and very cool (well, at least for business dorks like me where any tiny bit of time saved is totally sweet. ;))

Oh, and P.S. I've got a new site with some kickass functionality brewing too. Exciting times for good ol' M3 motorwerks, folks! :D

Undetermined as yet. I can assure you that it will go through at least the end of August, but an exact date I'm not sure about. Will post that information with the offical group purchase.

Andrew: I agree completely. The unfortunate problem is that we drop-ship all UUC products, and UUC's stock varies day to day. Not to mention that UUC's projected delivery times are inaccurate at best and wildly incorrect at worst. I'm not bashing UUC -- I love the guys, and I love the product. The fact is simply that they're in EXTREMELY high demand, and they're having some growing pains.

So, all that said, I really can't and won't speculate on UUC's stock or delivery times because I just don't know. My answer: "It'll get there when it gets there." :D

Seriously though, if you MUST know, just shoot me an e-mail about a specific product. Also, I'll let you know what the stock status is when I receive your order.

I got my UUC TME and bushing kit on Wednesday afternoon. Nice work Micah! I installed them last evening and it makes a noticeable difference.

One suggestion or tip that I read in another message was to index the transmission cross brace so that you can return it to the exact same position. There is a lot of ajustability with the cross brace mounting and this should eliminate any driveline vibrations created from misalignment. The way I did this was to outline the cross brace on the frame with a permanent black marker, outline the bolt heads, and colored in the frame through some unused bolt holes in the brace. returning the brace to the exact same alignment was very easy using this method and I haven't experienced any vibrations whatsoever.

No, they aren't too bad at all. The TME's come with complete directions, but here's a preview from UUC's site so you can get a feel for the installation:

I'll look into it with UUC. I'll run it as a special though, not a group buy... I don't want to make you guys gather in mass to all buy one thing. Not fair to you or me.

I'll get back to you today with a discounted price.

What about red TMBs with the TMEs, they go good together and I'm sure most folks will want TMEs with their TMBs.
Thanks for supporting this,

alken
03-23-2007, 05:38 PM
After speaking with UUC, I confirmed that they do not feel the TMEs are very beneficial to the RED Trans Mount Bushings. The RED TMBs are very stiff, and therefore don't require the Enforcer cups. For that reason, they do not sell them as a set.

We do carry the enforcers separately, they retail for $35. You may apply the $5 discount code to the combined purchase of the RED TMBs and TMEs. The set will also ship free.

Ken

I want to stress, however, that this combination brings little to no added benefit, and that the RED TMBs are primarily for track use. You may find them uncomfortable for street use - select these at your own risk.

singlenrigid
03-23-2007, 10:12 PM
Sorry Ken, I must have had a brain fart there. I thought I remembered reading that the TME's were needed for the red isolated TMB's. Not the case.

This thread has all the details:
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=645755

Simply because they are already stiff enough not to suffer from lateral deflection even under extreme-load situations. With either of our red urethane mounts, the enforcer cups would not provide any additional benefit and we would not suggest you purchase something unless it did.
The difference between the black neoprene mounts (with enforcers) and the red isolated mounts is the effectiveness of vibration suppression. When installed properly, the black mounts should not transmit any vibration into the cabin. The red mounts may, and probably will transmit at least a small amount... but that's a trade-off when using a legitimate competition-grade part.

alken
04-05-2007, 09:55 AM
The black TMBs are a great alternative to stock replacement. The Red bushings do transmit more vibration, which is why we recommend the black versions for street and the red for track.

Thanks to all who got in on the promotion, we really appreciate the support.
