Broken motor mount bolt

Hey guys, I broke a motor mount bolt when I was doing the catless downpipe install. Its the bolt that threads into the motor mount. Any ideas on how I can remove or extract it? It's it safe to drive it to a shop if I can't get it out? If it helps, my car is a 335xi. Thanks in advance guys

You need a spline kit and a cobalt bit.

Is it one of those two that tread into the mount from the bottom? If yes then you can drive to a shop. You can drive for lot longer than to a shop.

Change the motor mount instead, the threads in the motormount will probably already be damaged or will be damaged during extraction of the bolt. Saves alot of time to and money if you do it yourself. Only the labor for removing the bolt probably will be more than a new mount
