Today I have managed to get the Vibratechnics upper engine mount fitted, was an easy enough job and allowed me to paint the upper mount as well;

Test drive showed the knock and rumble has now gone and car feels alot better than the day I bought it coming up to 3 weeks ago.

Will also be sorting the upper gearbox mount from Vibra-Technics - already have the powerflex dogbone upgrade.

This afternoon I have fitted the battery box and fire extinguisher in the boot - the battery wont be ran into the boot straight away but nice to have everything ready for when I pull the interior out and route the cable in. Got the cable from a 7 series BMW but need to remove the exploding link and then can get the crimps sorted to connect this to the remote BMW 3 series positive terminal.

Ignore the current boot paintjob - this was like this when I bought the car but has been scratched alot - will be repainting the boot interior when everything else is in place
