335xi engine mount DIY???

wrrush · 09-02-2018, 10:46 AM

Ok so I have been looking around for a DIY on the engine mounts for a 335xi on youtube or e90 and other forums, i can only find the ones for the 335i. I changed out the engine mounts on a 335i last week but next weekend will be doing this in an xi and want to see the difference. I didnt have to drop the sub frame on the 335i just had to loosen it and use a pry bar, I am hoping this is the same on the xi but can not find a reference. Any help would be much appreciated I would like to see this before just flying blind.

If you look for a DIY for downpipes, that would cover dropping the subframe.

This is the info I used when I did my subframe drop - although I am not certain it will give you enough room for motor mounts.

I did my motor mounts recently, but it was in the process of changing the oil pan gasket - which might allow you to drop the subframe further.

i like the way you think, there arent any good DIYs out there for XI downpipes either, I did find this on engine mounts but he only does one side.
