- Hi guys and girls, todays video is to show you how to install a power flex yellow lower engine mount poly bush in to a Mini Cooper S F56. This mod was cheap and probably the best one I've done yet!
Thanks again for watching and remember to like, comment and SUBSCRIBE!!!
Just got this done using your guide and I'm so happy with the difference in low gears at low speeds, the shifting, and the more consistent inertia under braking. Took quite a bit of effort to get those bolts off since I think I'm the only person to do it on my 2014 MCS, plus getting the bushing out is a pain, but well worth the upgrade. Thanks for the tips!
Did you and him both not bother propping up the motor while the lower mount was removed? The upper mount alone holds the engine in place well enough to swap out the lower...?
Great video. I just got a Mini F55 with original engine mounts. There is a bit of vibration at idle. I’m wondering if this mod will help to make less vibration at idle?
yet again another brilliant video that will help me immensely when i do this job in a couple of days. thanks lawrence!
Thank you, such a simple job with great results.
Just installed mine and its impressive how much of a difference 1 replacement mount makes

@chrisjfox8715 yeah the bottom mount is not a engine support
Its purely to prevent motor rotation
You posted this at the perfect time. I'm about to do mine next week. Thanks!
I got a 2014 F56 Cooper with 39.000km and it needs a motor mount replacement and the car is in excellent shape its so bizarre for a car with that many km to need a motor mount replacement, great video!
Same thing mate... I've done 30000 miles. Here's the funny part, mini would charge me £460 😂🖕
@@samlewis967 i only go my car to MINI and spend Tons of money and on accessories too... Its costly..!
I had well under 20,000 miles on my 2017 Cooper S when mine went bad. Apparently mine actually tore according to my Mini tech, and they did it under warranty.
Appreciate this upload bud, very helpful!
Thanks for the video, I just order this and the Upper Engine Mount Insert Kit, hopefully removing the upper engine mount is as easy as this one on your video.

Did you use locative on the bolts ?!
Hi Lawrence! Hope your well. How are you getting on with this? I’ve been advised to replace mine but not sure to go down the route of buying a new mount and the power flex bush or just get the bush and install it in the old mount. Thanks for this video 😊
Same problem with my bmw f40
Thanks for the excellent video and instructions which were very helpful when I replaced my OEM Engine Mount with the Powerflex Poly Yellow Bushing. The procedure itself was easy but the hardest part was removing the OEM black bushing (which was molded onto the metal tube insert) and I had to cut it out.
However, I am having a slight problem whereas the car shudders when first starting the car and while Idling from 1500 to 750 RPM. Also, the shaking/shuddering happens again when engaging the 1st gear but it goes away when accelerating beyond the 1500-rpm. It seems to only happen in the range of 1500-750 rpm whether accelerating or decelerating. Just wondering if you experienced that behavior.
P.s. I did use the 2 black Inserts to stiffen the Yellow Bushings (which came in 2 halves)
Thanks for the reply and yeah I had a slight amount of vibration and above idle. I had a similar mount on my older audi tt and this did the same. When you install a harder mount it will transfer more vibration in to the car.
@@LawrenceHorsfall Thanks Lawrence for the quick response and for putting my mind at ease that I didn't do something wrong!
Do you thing if I remove the 2 black inserts it'll make the Poly Bush 'softer' and the vibrations will go away? and have you tried it on your F56 S? I very much appreciate your input
how tall are your ramps?
Great vid! How is the engine vibration in the cockpit? Any extra that makes it annoying for daily driving?
A tiny bit of vibration at idle but nothing that will annoy you
@@LawrenceHorsfall Thanks, Lawrence!
How hard was it to chisel out lol. Waiting on my part be in tomorrow cant wait for me to install. I also got yellow powerflex bushing for upper right mount. Looks like 4 yellow bushings and insert in on engine mount
Yesterday my powerflex bushings arrived, for the lower engine mount and upper right engine mount and upper left gearbox mount. I think i install it in two weeks.
Got so much problems with my Mini Cooper S...
My 5000km old original engine mounts are damaged, my engine jumps up and down, forward and backward, my wheels are hopping. I think my driveshafts are damaged but they look good.
I hope the new mounts with the powerflex bushings are helping.
You allready install your mounts with the bushings, how it feel?
Sorry for my worse english, i am german😅🙈
How hard was it for you to chisel out? What did you use?
Where you buy the months ?
I got it from a approved seller off eBay
What’s next on ur list m8?
Honestly not a clue. I really want some bucket seats but not 100% yet
Torque should be set to 80 nm not 100
From the bmw mini service manual it's says for the m12 bolts it is 100nm. But it never made a difference to my car.
You are correct, from the manual is 100 Nm but the factory setting is 80 Nm. A bit weird.
@@ionut7108 very strange, maybe 80nm with some thread lock from factory.
Why did you replace the engine mount itself and not just remove the bushing from the old arm and replace it with poly bush?
I never replaced the arm. I cut the old bush out and put the poly bush in the old arm.
