- 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:

Absolute best video for doing this job. Skips all the BS and tells you the most direct route with the minimal amount of effort required. Been looking for a video exactly on this topic and this is the most complete. Mounts came out with very little effort. Did this on Jack stands with this video. Thanks for a great DIY.
Much appreciated!
Hi @distrohouse1, I am also looking to do this on my car with jack stands and engine support bar.
How did you go about doing the step at 8:44? Do you use a floor jack under the oil pan?
Yup, floor jack will get it done and give you the control you want. Just be careful on the placement.
This is by far the best video I have watched about doing these mounts. You are the only one that said anything about the dimple. Thank you.
Great video. Every shop I have called has told me 5hrs(1k for labor) for the job. Im so happy i watched this video
Thank you very much, I was able to change all 4 mounts on my E90 328i in a 4hr window. One thing that happened to me is that when I lifted the motor the upper radiator hose broke near the oil filter assembly, just something to consider for any DIYers with high mileage cars, my car has 160k miles on it. $25 gates replacement hose solved the small issue.
good to know, my car has about same mileage, 2007 328i. I am getting a lot of vibration at 2KRPM, is this the problem you had?
Jejeje me sucedió algo parecido pero en mi caso fue el radiador se quebró pegado a esa manguera jejeje y al final el problema de vibración no desaparece
My car's got this issue booked in for this work hope they do a good job this vids made it a lot clearer 👍
I would like to give this guy a credit for making such clean and easy DIY video for E90 owners! Many of previous DIY instruction i have read is misleading and cost extra work. I see you jack up the oil pan and taken off both mount once it for all. Wonder is it really necessary for to put the cross bar on top of engine bay , as far as i can see , the engine stays pretty from once you jack up from the pan. Great Job! Appreciated it. !!!
Glad to hear that ! That is comforting to know . Thanks for sharing your thoughts and taking the time out of your busy day to help me out.
Merci bro ! Avec ta vidéo et tes très bonnes explications aujourd'hui j'ai changer mes support moteur et boîte facilement !
Great detail videos as always. Each video I watched, it makes me want buy a beemer. As a matter of fact, I test drove an '06 330ci last week.
an e46 coupe ?
E46 Convertible. I'd be a BMW owner if it was a coupe.
@@austintx4556 i see. convertibles are cool but to me its unnecessary. i own an e92
Good luck on the search!
Awesome video. Best I have seen for this job.
Great video, your DIY always makes it look very simple 😀, thanks for sharing and as always "Howdy from Texas "!!
Very good detail video and explanation..thanks
I was living in my welding shop in 2013, I'm wondering if I got you beat on the shoplife, for real, bro lol.
i started around the same year lol
Hey bro can you do a video on your journey to automotive industry and how long it took for you to be great at what you do in a video?
@@TheFrenchPug he use to reply to my comments back when he had 2000 subscribers. It’s typical TH-cam mentality when they get above a certain amount of subscribers they don’t reply anymore.
@@MarkOBrian You would be surprised how many people comment/message me regarding information that is specifically stated in the video they are referring to or a simple google search would answer their question. If TH-cam was the only thing I did day in and day out I would definitely have more time to respond to all of the comments I receive. I was actively responding to DMs and comments up until I got overloaded while I was in California, approximately 50k subs. Hope everyone understands
@@TheFrenchPug Lol that is not the case bro!
Will definitely make a video on this, I made one a few years back that goes over how I got into cars
@@ShopLifeTV we all understand!! We can’t expect you to be able to respond to every little dumb comment. You have a life too! Keep trekkin!!
Also has a great video on coil overs
you explain always so good ! thank you brother for your great videos ! :)
Just did this repair on a 2011 328i. Everything went exactly as described in the video, thanks for the excellent how-to. Shop wanted $1200 for this, I don't think so!
2012 bmw528i my local indie wants $2,300 😭
I recommend buying Bottle jacks from harbor freight but 8-12 tons because they are taller and compensate for the height in which the stands are holding the car
Thanks so much for sharing, this is a much easier way to do it then to lower the whole front axle thing.... saves me some work :)
Thanks from Spain. Clear video.
Appreciate the information!!! Stay blessed!!!
Excellent and thorough video....
Thank you your the best
thanks man!
Best video ever for this repair th k you for posting
Where can I buy the engine and the transmission mounts I don’t want to do the job twice since I’m going to attempt to do it on my driveway thank you
Terrific video. Well done!
Love your videos! I have a suggestion: if you got some clip on microphones for your videos to improve the audio and reduce the echoes from the shop it would do a ton to improve your quality. Love the content and hope it continues to improve!
Just invested in some! thanks!
my g thank youuu
I had to install a new charge pipe and I think that the fitment issues I had with the charge pipe touching the top radiator plastic hose is because my motor mounts are sagged.
EXCELLENT VIDEO ON a 2008 328i some people said when u raise the BMW 328i engine (with a pole bar) that it cracks the radiator while raising the engine.....has this happened to you? I hate to ruin my BMW 328i radiator its an automatic sedan.**PLEASE RESPOND
@ShopLifeTV: have you ever had a chance to diagnose (or experience) in BMW with manual transmission (E60 530i in my case), clunk sound and a little jerk WHILE pressing clutch pedal all down at low gears? There is no any other symptomps from drivetrain e.g. at high speed or when changing gears.. everything works OK, apart from that one issue. I'm sick of it in city traffic when you need to play a lot with braking and changing gears at low speed and low gears. I replaced clutch with flywheel but it did not change anything. I think that the same issue causing a small clunk when hit suddenly on brake pedal - clunk happens just before car is starting to brake.
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
good job, but how can you see that the engine mount is damaged without removing it. the rubber is not visible. cheers
If you have an e92 this will not work I’m currently struggling because I didn’t know . only way I see it working for the passenger side without lowering the subframe is to remove the down pipes
Do you have a video doing a oil pan gasket on these?
anyone know the torque specs for the e12 bolts connecting the motor mount to subframe?
Same process for a 325i 2006?
Torque specs for nuts and bolts on motor mounts? We need that bro
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 Video👌
How many mounts required for BMW 320i e90 2010 model ?
Aware! Do NOT raise engine excessicely. 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.
Before putting the trans cross member back on, theoretically could you lower the jack to tilt the trans downwards, to do things like change the side hydraulic cover/replace mechatronic o-rings? Asking for an F10 but curious because this is he closest video I can find
Great Information
Hi from dubai. Thanks for great information videos. Can you suggest is x5 2008 4.8i reliable car. What are the common issues like. And do we need to change transmission oil , the company says its a life time
hey bro
can you please make a video of a M54B30 swap into a e30, as well as the E46 dashboard into the e30
Please
U the best Broo
I'm asking beofre I finish the video but why would someone wanna do this? Just wondering. My n52 doesn't make enough power for me to upgrade them but idk maybe there's another reason? Cool video so far though👍🏼
Not an upgrade, its a maintenance item. th-cam.com/video/xo8JfGp61i8/w-d-xo.html
@@ShopLifeTV ok that makes so much more sense. I didn't catch that video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video but i am scared to jack up the engine from the oil pan
noooo don't jack it up by the oil pan
@@ShopLifeTV is not this what you did? You have left up the engine from the flat part on the oil pan, right? 8:40
Can u please get back to me. Thank you
How about 335d can i do it without lowering subframe? And without a support bar? What is the difference with 335d? Please help! I have my car on jackstands and have loosen everything and about to remove them. Would be highly appreciated with any help.
@@ShopLifeTVyou defiantly say jack it up from the oil pan, what’s the deal here
damn bro I really wish you were in NYC to work on my phantom. My driver side mount is broken and upon take off it went into neutral twice already.
Im just curious I've not found anyone say but does the engine mount bolts on the bottom the e-torx bolts need to be replaced are they aluminum or steel
Great vid. But looks like no one mentioned to detach radiator hose before jacking engine up! I fuckin snapped the radiator piece that connects to the hose. Now I gotta replace the wholeeeee radiator!
Hello sir. Can you show me where the reverse switch is located on the bmw e90?
Thank You
Do you have the torque specs?
Hi 👋
So how many screws or bolts/nuts are connected to each mount?
Is it 2 Torx screws and a nut on each side?
2011 328i xDrive. Thanks
good job .... when you repair my 1999 BMW 328i
Can I ask N46 manual gearbox can fit in the N52 engine?
also any special torgue on the engine mount bolts?
thanks man
does lifting up the engine from the oil pan damage the oil pan gasket? thanks.
It doesnt
When did you lower the pole jack after installing the lower nuts on the transmission mounts?
nice vid
What's a good diagnosis tool to buy for 325i 2005, can you recommend
Jason I have a right hand drive e90 320i and by looking at the Right side mount the bolt is not accessible the steering sector shaft is right on top of the bolt. I will see if I can access from underneath but is there any way of removing the steering sector shaft easy way?
Thank you for an excellent video. What would be the best way to visually inspect the engine mounts?
You will usually be able to feel when the mounts are bad. I go over symptoms in the previous video, linked in description. It's hard to see them since the engine mount arm usually covers them.
@@ShopLifeTV Thank you so much. Yes, I did watch the symptoms video and at 74K, my car is not presenting noticeable symptoms other than a very slight vibration at idle. I am going to try seeing it through a borescope. Truth be told I am a bit OCD about this car.
.
Another fine job by the team at ShopLife. Great camera work by your better half!
Has anyone tried this method on a 335i? This looks even easier then VehiicularDIY's way of doing it.
did you end up doing yours 335i? is it the same as the video as im not keen to lower the subframe
how similar is the process with 2011 328i xDrive n52? pls advise
almost the same
@@rafaelramirez7576
Thanks brother !
Hi, have a question and need help with my 2003 Mercedes cl500. I am converting the suspension system on the car. From Hydraulic to coil-over and wanted to replace the power steering pump too. Can you help me find out which power steering pump is compatible with the cl500. PS, Hydraulic system, power steering reservoir and the power steering out. Convert to a one that's comfortable for my car. Thank you. Ur fans Sammy Chane.
Man, I need help, eml light came on all sudden,, car runs fine one day the next day won't start, I'm guessing fuel pump, the fuel filter is one year old, pump is probably original,
Thanks for the informative vid, kindly advise if i may use a normal mount as the one you fitting, instead of the vacuum mount that is currently on my vehicle, they are identical except for the vacuum nozzle?
For the e90 335xi are the same motor mount or they r different???
What's the torque?
Can you do some video about 2010 328 x drive oil pan gasket replacement .i have 2010 bmw 328 xi i have to replace oil pan gasket i m doing my self now but in you tube not much video s. Love from Canada Toronto.
Good job beta
Any significant differences with the X drive series? TIA great videos
Did you ever get an answer to your question ? I’m wondering about the same thing . I also have an X-drive .
sorry, been awhile. I did the motor mounts and it was super easy as described in the video. Never did the transmission mounts though@@ThunderbirdRocket
@@kingpin16052
Thanks brother !
So seeing as you can see the guibo while you were doing the trans mounts, do you think it’d be possible to swap that out as well with that access (or just removing the heat shielding)? Ie without removing exhaust.
u r not answering me..i put on hydraulic mounts on my 2008 328i sedan and not the car mounts shake when i first start the car
What was the symptom/s it was having .
I actually tried it this way today.. i was not successfull, i ended up pumping the whole front up on the oil pan. Gave up as i anyway want to do the oil pan gasket this summer. Is the engine also fixed anywhere else than the two engine mounts? couldnt find anything....
What was the issue / difficulty / problem you encountered in the process of attempting this job ?
Hey dude. So i have a problem with my E46 320CI with the m54b22 engine. Its running very rough and wont idle. It feels like it doesnt have any power at all but i can rev it completely fine. have you had this problem before?
What mm were the top and bottom engine Mount bolts?
Nvm. I must have not heard that first part 16mm thanks bro 👌
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
What is the adverage cost for this work if I get it serviced
$700-800 if you do it yourself it’s $250
They do make stiffer versions of those... are they worth it? Also, when do those usually fail? 100k?
I would not recommend poly mounts or other stiffer aftermarket options for primarily street cars. Usually fail at 100k depending on driving conditions
Man I got a 2002 325ci that's not wanting to shift into any gear until the car is completely warmed up then when you drive for 2 or 3 minutes it starts shifting perfect again does that sound like the master cylinder, slave cylinder, or a worn out clutch completely?
How many miles did this 330i have?
Right around 240k miles
Jason, is that pole stand the same one from HF? Looks pretty stout. I’m looking to add one for my four post. Thanks
Yes it is, and it has held up really well. Would recommend 10/10
Is same procedure in X5 E70 N52 ENGINE??
Hey Quick question. I have 2006 bmw 330i manual transmission. when ever i stop near the stop light engine get stalled. even in the neutral i put it. can you help me why my car stalls?
What symptoms made you realise you had to change them?
This for e92 as well
I have a question dose a m3 bumper coupe convert fits on a 325xi 2004 lmk I’ll help thank you
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.
hi
can you do this jack thing with the X5 e70s?
I have bmw 3 n47 engine. My engine mounts vacum type on the car. Can i change with out vacum type please help me
Torque specs?
How much of a pain is the BMW brand to work on overall??? especially the new ones with all the electronics on them?
Big pain
Where are you located??
near charlotte, NC
👍
Did you use loctite for the nuts of the mounts?
Motor mount nuts should be self locking
Is there actually any BMW engines that are good engines that have been made that want coat a fortune for parts
Depends on what you're looking for. If it were myself, I would go for BMW's original M code engines. These were made from the 1960s through the 90s.
These are not going to make huge power numbers by modern standards but are reliable and easy to service. The M10, M20, M30, M42/M44, M50/M52/M54, M60/M62, and M70/M73 are my personal favorites.
