BMW E39 M5 DIY How To Guide Engine Mount Change + Uprated Engine Mounts

Welcome along to another DIY E39 M5 How-To guide!

Today we are changing our engine mounts (Motor Mounts to you USA viewers!)

The track car needs stronger and more durable mounts, so we have fitted a set of billet aluminium / urethane mounts in place of the standard OEM Lemforder items.

We are looking at the feasibility of designing our own engine mounts and manufacturing them in the future - Watch this space!

Changing the mounts shouldn't take more than an hour and can be easily done at home with basic tools and axle stands + a good quality trolley jack.

This is such great timing! I have a new pair of mounts for my beast in the garage....been meaning to put them in for a few weeks now. This will get me off my ass and get them installed. Thanks for all the great E39 M5 content and DIY's!

Would you recommend these for street use? 95A is not that hard, but i dont have much experience with poly engine mounts. I have 75D in my Diff and i love it

can I use a less thick wooden block? Will a standard 2x4 work?

What did you torque down the through-bolt to preload the bushing to?
