BMW F30 Engine Mount Replacement DIY - N20 or N26 

How does a good one feel, compared to one’s that’s leaked or gone bad?

Thanks for watching!

​@@VehicularDIYhello, I have to go this weekend to change the engine mount on the right side (passenger), at an acquaintance's house. for an f21 120d. I already have the parts. How much do you think the work would cost more or less? and how long? Thanks a lot

Funny thing is he isn’t even a mechanic by trade. Really impressive

2012 models use vacuum to control the turbo wastegate like n54, newer models use electronic wastegate

Thanks, I used my e90 tow hook.

@@VehicularDIY part nr for the hook(service tool) is 72 15 8 108 670 and apparently is the e39 tow hook. Only one that seats all the way on the engine and you will have a all the range that you need.

Where exactly do you screw it to?

Thanks!

@@VehicularDIY Always looking for advice on the E90/N54 project I have. I'd be happy to have you as a second opinion if I run into issues/ideas... if you're open to the idea. Thanks in advance! -Steve

Thanks, no they are steel.

I think its mostly the 4 cylinder with all the extra room.

Thanks, I plan on keeping the e90 until I eventually convert it to a single turbo.

@@VehicularDIY I see, thank you for getting back to me. Do you have a sponsor for the single turbo yet? If not I would like to help

Exact same

Thanks! I would drill a small hole and get a bolt extractor. Luckily they are not in there too tight.

@@VehicularDIY Thank you big guy! I will give it a go and keep you post.

Thank you. In the next video coming up I cover that.

@@VehicularDIY that would be awesome thanks

I have the same exact problem. On auto start stop and when going over some bumps but only on the right side (driver side). It makes a thumping noise which really annoys me. I do think i have a failing engine mounting because I’ve changed all the components of the suspension including the steering rack and all the track arms.

@@abrahamputra5287 i found a video last week saying about one universal rubber bush for the dashboard . On the other hand i have ordered chassis ear from amazon. Let see if that helps

@@abrahamputra5287 did you fix the issue?

@@giri4903 Try to fix the lower or upper control arm once again. I was really frustrated and went to the dealership with peace driving in mind. I talked to the service advisor and asked them to find the problem at anycost, and replace the part one by one. After changing the control arm again, and also tighten it with a jack-stand on the front wheel that they are tightening (they told me the correct procedure the wheel should be jacked into normal driving condition before tightening things up.) After that, the issue was solved and the noise was gone for 70%. For the rest 30% maybe i expected to much on my 3 series to run like a 5 series or an e class over bump 😅

@@abrahamputra5287 maybe i will try that method. Place i live now below zero sometimes or below 10. Now i need to wait till summer to hear it properly:)

I had a bad left hand mount on my E39 530D. Symptoms were engine vibration and noise at low revs in Park & Reverse. In Drive, or any of the other forward gears everything seemed normal. The bolt was breaking away from the rubber hydraulic part of the mount but no leaking oil.

Did you fix the issue?

@@giri4903 Yes, from the Third and most expensive shop. It was the Sway bar links. Cost was around $300

Works just fine for me here in finland 🤷‍♂️

Check your ISP as it is a bandwidth problem most likely. Where in Europe? Pretty large continent.
