Motor Mount Upgrade

My OE motor mounts with 192k miles are toast, and I'm going to be replacing them in the near future. I have new OEM (Rein) motor mounts, but I'd like to do an upgrade. I hope this thread will be helpful for anyone shopping-around in the future (Nice thing is that 128i and 135i mounts are the same).

After about 30 minutes of research, my initial preferences are:
1. Turner Solid: Very racecar, but much less expensive than poly.
2. Turner ~90A Polyurethane Mounts: Good compromise, but expensive.
3. 034 Solid Rubber: High apparent failure rate, very affordable.

What are your thoughts? I can tolerate a good bit of NVH (I have M3 arms, solid subframe mounts, M3/Poly diff bushings, M3 trans mounts), but I don't want it to be too much. I track my car a lot, and can appreciate having some built-in ability to party when I want...

Thanks!
