  • Welcome to ShopLifeTV!
    In this video I show how to replace both engine mounts on E46 XI Models. The car in particular is a 2001 325XIT. This process is the same for wagons and sedans of the XI family (325xi, 330xi, 325xit, 330xit). Thanks for watching!

    Your channel is so underrated, I hope you will make more subscribers because your content is pure GOLD for an bmw e46 enthusiast!

    Your channel is one of the few on RUclips in regards to DIYer repairs on strictly BMW's. I like your DIY repair videos the best because you do a great job at teaching us how to repair our cars so we dont have to pay an extreme high price at the dealership. My only critique would be to use less fast forward editing as I love to see each and every step. The little bit youre trying to save on video time is not that much in comparison to what we might miss in that mode. Explain every step in detail as I see you usually do and your subscribers list will grow exponentially because you have a niche market for your repairs. I dont even own a BMW and I catch myself watching your videos because of their quality. Great job

    On the Xi models, the passenger side mount can be put in without needing to lower the subframe...but the driver side is IMPOSSIBLE without doing so. I was tearing my hair out trying to figure it out., so thanks a million for the video. Tomorrow I'll try the subframe trick. My mounts aren't even in bad shape, but it's the principle of the thing at this point lol

    Thank you very much, I had no idea why my 325xi had that vibration, it was driving me nuts. I will be tackling that in the next month. You are the best.

    Does the engine mount from X3 from this yoer fit on 330xd? I am looking for replacing it but I can find just an OEM mount which costs 200. And I found that the mounts from the X3 look pretty similar but I am not sure if it fits.

    replaced transmission and engine mount still have excessive vibration while in drive or reverse. Once i put it in neutral, zero vibration.

      Might be the driveline u joints or the center carrier bearing, I think BMW calls it the guido bearing

    I have a 328ci and i have a vibration when sitting at lights.
    While i have my foot on the brakes and slighty increase the rpm by about 100 or 200 its butter smooth, could this be my engine mounts?
    If it is what are some brands you recommend?
