2002–2003 Mini Cooper 1.6L / 1.6L Supercharged

Part #: W93518

Overview

The Whiteline Engine Mount (Upper Bushing Insert Kit) is designed specifically for the Mini Cooper models from 2002 to 2003. This performance upgrade replaces the soft factory bushings with high-quality, performance-oriented inserts that significantly enhance your vehicle's drivetrain responsiveness. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking sharper throttle response and more precise gear shifts, this kit transforms the driving experience of your Mini Cooper.

While the factory bushings do a good job of isolating engine vibration for comfort, they can also create a feeling of vagueness and unresponsiveness during spirited driving or hard acceleration. Whiteline's upper engine mount bushing inserts firm up the connection between the engine and chassis, reducing unwanted movement and drivetrain slack. As a result, you'll enjoy more direct throttle input, crisper gear engagement, and improved overall handling without sacrificing daily comfort.
