Engine mount -- is CFW-Freudenberg the OE mount??
Pelican sells two engine mounts: one made by CFW-Freudenberg for $98.50 and one made by Meyle for $65.75.
Everyone knows that it's foolish to replace the engine mounts with aftermarket instead of OE. I assume from the price that the CFW-Freudenberg is the OE mount that I want to get?? Or do I skip both of these and order from another vendor??
I ask because I'm springing for a preventative rod bearing job in a couple of weeks and decided that I should replace the original (20 year old!) mounts replaced while I'm at it. I'd hate to remove something that works and replace it with a piece of cr@p!

I know of a place where you can get new 951 mounts, $10 less per mount, probably better price on shipping, and yes, the brand you listed is OE. They're not a sponsor, so I'm hesitant to drop their name.

I've compared mounts directly from the dealer with a both the CFW and Meyle brands. The CFW was damn near the same price and looked almost the same as OE dealer from a responsible P-dealer in Oregon 
The dealer ones in the Porsche box are the only ones with the Triangle with the P cast into the rubber near the part number. So which one is the real deal? Ditto on the Pelican comment, 2 wrong parts and 1 bad casting for the BMW in 3 shipments. They cleared it all up but their own website even shows the wrong Bosch part that got sent twice. I'm not really bagging on Pelican but they need to fix any errors in their parts lists. I even gave them the correct BMW numbers from http://realoem.com and still their supplier decided his numbers were the correct ones. 
Slowed me down for a few days. Luckily I get free shipping that gets here over night.
