    Ergo:

    - Since motor mounts are part of the drivetrain, and suspend the engine, they're free;

    - Since rods are part of the drivetrain, and suspend the piston, they're free;

    - And since the head is part of the drivetrain, and suspends the cams, it's free (and the cams suspend the rocker arms, so they're free too...)

    G** D*** it Greg!! Now you tell me and I should have gone with the aluminum mounts from Bimmer World and they would have lowered the motor by 1/2 an inch too

    I am not sure what you are driving at here Greg. All Josh was driving at IMHO was that since engine and tranny mounts must remain stock, it seemed consistant that the diff mounts would too.

    Thanks Andy. I couldn't figure it out either. I figured he just failed to be funny, so I ignored him :-)
