    BMW 760i (V12) Engine mount replacement?

    Looks like one of my engine mounts has collapsed (driver side)!



    The passenger side looks a little better



    Has anyone on this forum replaced theirs?
    The service manual says to support the motor and drop the sub-frame. I'd like to jack up the motor. There's good access to the driver side since I have the alternator bracket removed (to service oil seal). Like to hear from anyone that has done this successfully?

    Thanks!

    When I replaced mine on my E65, I did it the same way I have done it on all of my BMW's - remove the bolts, jack up the engine on that side about 1-1/2 inches (make sure nothing will hit the fresh air intake cowl, remove the connection to between airfilters and MAF), remove the old one, put in the new one and reassemble.

    Thanks. I've done the same thing on my other cars and plan to try the same method here just as soon as the new mounts arrive.
