Engine Mount DIY for 535xi?
it feels like i should replace the engine mounts on my N54 all wheel drive car. however, i can't seem to find any DIY's for xi cars and the N54.
is this something that is DIY-able, or should i drop the cash on a shop to deal with it? |

Note the first comment about having to remove the passenger side axle on the xi's to R/R that mount. |
I had two broken mounts replaced a couple of years ago. My indy says it's a bitch getting at then on an xi.

guess i will start calling around for quotes. |
My indy charged me $280, which I thought was very reasonable.

is that just labor, or including parts?
if that includes parts, that's real good. OE mounts alone are $200. |

You say "feels like they need replacing". What do you mean, is the engine flopping around? Back in the old days, my buddy's '68 Dodge Polara tore the engine mount which let the engine lift so far it ripped off the power steering hoses. That was a very obvious failure.
