How to Replace BMW F10/F11 Engine Mounts - EXPLAINED

[@ahgroundwork]

Absolutely love this video will definitely be coming back to it when I do mine later this year. Thanks very much.

Good one, but one simple advice that can save you your gearbox oil pan is that you should use larger surface area to lift it or carry it on lifter. With that small of piercing area pan can crack, break and leak easily, especially if they are OEM (old too) or replaced with low quality replacement part.

[@BestCarMods]

Thanks. That is a very good point, especially on older plastic filters.

[@Cristian-hg6so]

​@@BestCarModsare you lift the engine from engine oil pan ?

[@BestCarMods]

@@Cristian-hg6so did you see it in the video?

[@TheHenrikDam]

Thanks for a for me perfect video. I have a box from Autodoc with the exact same parts standing in the corner of the garage ready to be replaced on my 2010 F10 530d with 340k km and counting. Also want to replace the diff bushing, following your video on that (have those in another autodoc box:-) ). Keep up the good work and excellent videos.

[@BestCarMods]

340k km - that is a respectable mileage ... hope to reach that with my car also.

[@Cristian-hg6so]

Hi. Nice video. My F10 N47 has a big vibration at cold when i accelerate .. mostly when i turn left and press pedal

[@MrDixe]

Dod you fix It a have the same

[@Cristian-hg6so]

​@@MrDixenot yet. You ?

[@Holupfleee]

Would this installation be similar to the 2014 Bmw x5 sdrive35i f15 chassis?

[@Exillin]

The right and left engine mound are not the same, ive bought them fron autodoc to. And installed them. But at one side the rubber pad should be to the side of the engine but it was pointing to the outside. Thats also a spot where the mount and the engine touch. And using the wrong side theres no rubber to dampen the touch. On autodoc i could only find one side. So i replaced both sides with the one from original from BMW. But now i look at autodoc and they have both left and right.

[@BestCarMods]

Now that you mentioned it... I checked on realoem and the part number is the same ... see here www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=FW52-EUR-04-2010-F10-BMW-530d&diagId=22_0153 ... now that rubber holder might have to be adjusted based on the side, and this might explain why in the service manual this bit is written in bold fond. Excellent observation.

I ordered original mount for my F10, 525dx, with the serial number and there are with hole for vacuum. My car has hidro mount. I do now what to order.

[@Exillin]

@@emy2569those are the right engine mounts, i have the same ones and i just don’t use the vacuum connection.

[@emy2569]

@@Exillin thank you.

[@thomasv301]

Great explanation thank you.

[@michel3777]

hi excellent your video a question about mine 520D auto I have a cold noise in the morning when leaving like purring in the body once everything has heated up no more noise do you think that its coming from the engine mounts have said that the right side of the cylinder block c is sagging with a screwdriver it moves easily other against is harder so much think what thank you the body at 235000 km

[@BestCarMods]

on old vehicles, you can go ahead and change the parts because they will need doing at some point. Giving solution just based on a description of a noise is very hard to do.

[@michel3777]

@@BestCarMods merci a toi

[@NHILLproductions]

Great video. Thanks. Could the engine be lifted from the top with an engine jack instead of a jack in the gearbox?

[@BestCarMods]

yes.

[@justboyjustboy2681]

How did you manage to take of the support bracket on the right side i dont get it. Its impossible go access all the screws no matter how much I tried 😑

[@BestCarMods]

:) i should have documented everything in the video. for me taking things apart feels natural, simple.

[@eb4753]

​@@BestCarModsyes would have been nice to have a video. Anyways how did you access the screws did you remove anything prior to it? Because i was thinking to maybe lift engine on pan and then use another jack to lift driver side maybe on bracket...

[@JSarmiento.]

For the F10 / F11 the OE manufacturer is Corteco. How do I know? I ordered a pair, and the ones i got were intended to go to BMW and still had the BMW stickers.

[@BestCarMods]

thank you for sharing

[@TheE42ndmardiv]

On my list to replace engine and transmission mounts on my 535D. Do I need to remove DPF parts?

[@BestCarMods]

I don't expect you to have to remove them.

[@MustafaSoylerA68]

I ordered from autodoc but they don’t have little hole to attach hose they are not vaccum controlled so what to do this in this regard

[@BestCarMods]

maybe you ordered the wrong part. if the error is from autodoc they will sort it out.

[@MustafaSoylerA68]

I put the right part number one for left side has the hole one for right side does not also i checked other brands like none of them does right side with hole when i removed my original one they both vaccum controlled

[@MustafaSoylerA68]

@@BestCarModsalso i orderedsame parts from euro car parts it does not have the hole as well

[@BestCarMods]

@@MustafaSoylerA68 Chat with the supplier. When I ordered I received both with vacuum control

[@MustafaSoylerA68]

@@BestCarMods i just found febi with vaccum you think febi is good stuff ?

[@JakubRabczak]

Great job

[@motivationindrive8514]

I don’t know where you live. But In the United states at most public libraries they have subscriptions to alldata or similar and be able to get dealer level instructions on how to do pretty much anything. Could potentially of saved you some time.

[@mirkomajky5223]

Hi. I drive 525d 4 cilinder and changed my engine mounts with Lemforder. My car does not have vacuum on mounts, but new mounts came with that option couse part number changed to new version . Since than I have a vibration on my seat and particulary head rest when I put into D or R. Do you have that vibration? I should buy oem BMW mounts i guess.

[@BestCarMods]

No vibration for me ... might want to see this kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2Wyi3qpis15gc0si=vfBftYqRu8BpnH9v

[@emy2569]

I have the same problem. I ordered using the VIN number but the engine mount are the new one with vacuum. I have the middle mount with hidro. Do you now what part number to order?

[@Moazmishariff]

Thanks

[@Catalin.Barlea]

''mama ma-**'' haha bravo. Bravo pentru BMW-ul tău! Al meu F10 520D încă funcționează perfect la un kilometraj de peste 245k mile. Urmeaza sa intre in service sapt viitoare pentru Guibo pe cardan, racitor ulei si tampoane motor, sper sa fie o diferenta sesizabila.

[@BestCarMods]

ar trebui sa fie mult mai rafinata in special la acceleratie ;)
