Good day folks!
I needed to replace the center support bearing in the 2800 e3, so might as well upgrade!
Thought I’d share the install/review of a very nice product: JXB Performance BMW10A0 (link below).
Install took all of about an hour, tools out to tools in. No dropping the driveline. No fighting with that 24mm nut. No removing the guibo. You cut the bearing from the rubber support of the oem CSB, smooth out the rubber, clamp on the new JXB support, cut off old CSB, and test drive. Dropping the exhaust may not be completely necessary, but it does give you all the room needed and limits the curse words. I dropped it midway through.

Test drove for about an hour around town. No vibration what so ever. Very smooth. I opted for the street compound as I’m not bang shifting (all the time ). Super happy with JXB Performance. Customer service was instant. The president, Jay, even answered my questions on a Saturday. Haven’t come across that level of service in a long while. All that being said, Jay has a customer for life here. The 2002 and the e9 shall get the same treatment in the near future.
Cheers,
Rich
