Heavy-Duty Steel Replacement for BMW 22316760532

The STROM upper transmission mount directly replaces the discontinued factory BMW 22316760532 gearbox crossmember adapter.

Rather than relying on used or difficult-to-source OEM components, this mount provides a newly manufactured solution designed with performance, durability and engine-swap applications in mind.

Its heavy-duty construction makes it particularly suitable for performance road cars, track builds, race cars and modern BMW engine conversions.

Fully Welded 1/4" Steel Construction

Manufactured from 1/4-inch steel, the mount features a fully welded construction for increased strength and durability.

This robust design makes it well suited to demanding drivetrain applications where strength and reliability are essential.

Corrosion-Resistant Yellow Zinc Finish

The steel mount is finished with a yellow zinc coating, providing additional protection against corrosion and helping ensure long-term durability underneath the vehicle.

The distinctive zinc finish also provides a clean, professional appearance suitable for high-quality road, track and motorsport builds.

Ideal for BMW B48 Engine Swaps

This upper transmission mount is a key component when installing a BMW B48 engine into an E36 or E46 chassis with a GS6-37 or similar transmission.

It provides the upper mounting solution while allowing the appropriate chassis-specific lower transmission mount to be selected separately.

This makes it suitable for a wide variety of engine conversions while maintaining a strong and properly engineered transmission mounting arrangement.
