![]() ![]() The problem came, as you’ve probably guessed, when I tried to put the new mounts in. I simply put the car on a lift and raised the motor with a ¾ ton under-hoist stand to get it high enough to where the transmission was actually pushing against the top of the firewall. ![]() Getting the old mounts out wasn’t even a problem. In fact, I barely had to remove any trim to get a socket and ratchet onto any of them. Getting access to the bolts that hold the mounts to the subframe and the motor wasn’t an issue. So I figured it would take a similar amount of time to complete on this E46. I’ve only replaced engine mounts once before on a BMW, and it took less than an hour. I ordered a kit specifically for the M3 put together by FCP Euro that included both engine and transmission mounts, as well as new bolts so I wouldn’t have to reuse the old ones. That’s what I was thinking going into this job.
