BDR Strut Mount replacement part number

[Mark Brye]

I am in the middle of replacing the front strut cartridge inserts. While removing the strut mount I have found the mount has a little play in the bearing. It doesn't grind and feels smooth but I am wondering if I should replace them.

The mount has the following markings BMW 1090 678. I can't seem to find this part anywhere online. Does anyone know if this is a standard E36 1995ish 325 strut mount? It looks like Backdraft shaved some of the mount off on two sides so it doesn't look perfectly round.

FYI the KYB replacement inserts I got from Backdraftparts has part number 36105 stamped on them in case anyone needs that number in the future.

Make that 361005.

I've bought quite a few items from ECS Tuning and have had great response and ship times.

Thanks! Called local BMW dealer and they want 130 bucks for the genuine BMW part. Looks like on ECS site they have about 5 manufacturers making same part ranging from under 20 bucks to 80s for genuine part. Will either order the factory part, the Sachs or Lemforder replacement. Then I will need to cut off part of mount to fit between shock towers...
I have used ECS in past and they had good service.
