In this video I show you how to replace the engine (motor mounts) and transmission mounts on your BMW E90 330i. The car shown in the video is a 2006 BMW 330i with the N52 engine. This DIY is similar for other e90 models. I would recommend Corteco brand engine mounts and Lemforder brand transmission mounts.
Check out this video for why/when you should replace mounts:

Really good video. Thanks!!!
@ShoplifeTV – I have a 2007 335i coupe with 72k miles. At what mileage am I supposed to change the engine and transmission mount? How long do the original ones typically last?
The video is obviously sped up so just wondering how long it takes to actually complete the process in real time?
Thank you so much!
Does no one see that the engine mount bracket bolts are broken on the passenger side? Ha, the kit I ordered from FCP came with new ones, I wonder If they replaced them during this DIY?
Does this apply to E90 X-Drive?
Just did this job. I ended up needing to remove the engine mount bracket on the passenger side to get it to sit properly. Not enough clearance from raising the engine alone. Perhaps the car wasn’t properly level or something. Anyway… I also may have cracked the radiator top housing cheers!
Great video – simple and clear – to the point. Is this a common problem ? I have a 2015 bmw328i – have hardly driven it – has 35,000 miles and the dealer said the engine and transmission mounts are broken/cracked and i have to replace – quoted a bomb. anyone knows a reliable bmw shop in houston who does this well and at a reasonable price. thanks
Also has a great video on coil overs
Great video. Every shop I have called has told me 5hrs(1k for labor) for the job. Im so happy i watched this video
Torque specs?
Torque specs for nuts and bolts on motor mounts? We need that bro
Hello sir. Can you show me where the reverse switch is located on the bmw e90?
Thank You
Aware! Do NOT raise engine excessively. My N52 engine bmw ended up with broken radiator top housing. Top hose is very short and stressing radiator's top housing. Paid 170 euros for a new radiator. Sad experience. Consider dropping subframe if it seem stuck.
When did you lower the pole jack after installing the lower nuts on the transmission mounts?
do these engine mounts have oil in them? i have e90 320i and i see oil leaking from passenger side engine mount and i am not sure where its coming from, i recently changed my engine oil
Excellent and thorough video….
Eh, I think I would lift the engine on each side and do one side at a time. I would never lift a block via the oil pan and potentially deform it even slightly. Clearly it can be done but maybe warn people about the potential for damage as any impact on you oil pick up could be catastrophic for the bottom and top end.
Good clarity and details.
When I tried to break my passenger side mount nut loose, that mfr broke loose like a gun going off. Made my ear ring. That and the lower bolts for my mounts have tiny bit of corrosion on them and as such they are really bound up trying to remove them. They spin well until it gets to the upper portion on the bolt that protrudes out of the top of the mount. Damn corrosion.
Good job beta
