cross referencing part number for strut mounts

[bjbarbieri]

Ok NK gurus...

I need your help. I need to replace the strut mounts on my 1967 BMW 2000 tilux. The couple of quotes I've received on replacement mounts is around 185.00 for EACH mount which seems steep in my mind. In the attached image, the part I'm referencing is number 10.

The part number for the mount is 31 33 1 101 663

I entered that part number into a search on ebay and came up with a couple of different sets of strut mounts listed for the 3.0csi and e12 5 series, all priced significantly cheaper than when I asked for a 2000.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-BAV-E12-E24-Front-Strut-Mount-Set-2-Genuine-NEW-/150673522730?hash=item2314d7802a&item=150673522730&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_1715wt_1270

and if you click on the part number listed here, again, number 10 in the part breakdown:

http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/NK/Sedan/Europe/2000tilux-4-Zyl/LHD/M/1967/browse/front_axle/mounting_parts_f_front_spring_strut/

It shows the usage for that part to also include 1500-2000cs, e12 5, 2.5cs-3.0csl, e24 6, and 2500-3.3li.

With that many different applications, I wouldn't expect those mounts to run that high, and if, in fact, I search for strut mounts say for a '72 3.0csl, even from a vendor like Jaymic in the UK, they are listed for closer to 230.00 for a PAIR after shipping. That's quite a savings, so can anyone confirm cross references between these cars as being correct? It would be nice to get a pair for nearly the price of ONE. Thanks in advance.

So Neil,

Based on what you posted, it seems that all these models DO use the same part. In that case, I can buy a pair from Jaymic in the UK, listed for the 3.0, SHIPPED for 232.69

Seems like a deal!

Be advised that I received two different pairs of strut mounts, one Boge, one KYB. Both had the mounting studs pressed in from the wrong side. (opposite of what the diagram and real life shows).

[bjbarbieri]

wow. that's crazy. Since I posted this, I was approached by a forum member who offered me a nearly new set, < 500 miles, with the correct part number, at much less than retail. I am happy.

I just orders the jaymic strut mounts for my 1967 2000tilux. I'll let you all know how it works out. Fingers crossed

How much?

[Naz]

Worked out to 270$ Canadian. Two for the price of one you could say.

If memory serves. I used Bavaria mounts on my 67 CS. But I can't figure out the reversed studs.

[Naz]

I could just reverse the reversed studs if need be no?

Very strange about the mismatched mounts.  All studs face upwards, if not you can't attach them to fender.  But they can be pressed out and reversed if you like the look.  ?
