motor mounts

jerod.parr · 12-05-2012, 09:39 AM

Anyone have experience relplacing motor mounts. I had my wastegate rattle fixed and both turbos replace for freeeee, however bmw is saying my motor mounts are bad on my car and need replacing, the car only has 52xxx mile.they say it is what is causing my slight vibration at idle, im thinking it has more to do with my driveline being slightly misaligned when i replaced the clutch a month or so agoa. dealership wanted 300 bucks for mounts 330 from install, but only cause the turbos where off, i was short on cash said no, and im glad, i found motor mounts for half the price. now looking for a good DIY or anyone with experience to give me a few pointers.

I've read that we should maybe use the drivers side engine mount from a 335is to help insure that the power steering pulley does not hit the subframe (known issue). Anybody know about this for sure? Is the 335is part # different?
