Grey rows are shown for context and left out of the range. Years are approximate (date of the post). The range is the middle half of full-job USD prices for each shop type, published once there are at least 3; labor-only, customer-supplied-parts, warranty cost-share and bundled jobs are listed but left out.

Symptoms

  • Vibration on startup or at idle, felt in the cabin
  • A thump when the engine starts, or thumping when you accelerate
  • Engine visibly moves or rocks when revved
  • Clunk when shifting into Drive or Reverse
  • Mounts leaking hydraulic fluid (often found at an inspection before there are any symptoms)
  • Grinding or scraping noises if a failed mount is left too long

Which cars are affected

G20 330i / 330i xDrive (2019+) and G22 coupe, G23 convertible, G26 Gran Coupe 430i / 430i xDrive (2021+). Genuine mounts: 330i RWD, 430i and 430i xDrive coupe use left 22117581617 and right 22117581618; 330i xDrive and 430i xDrive Gran Coupe use 22117581621 / 22117581622. Confirm by VIN.

G20 3 Series 2019–present

Both engine mounts are normally replaced together. The mounts are fluid-filled, and a dealer inspection often flags a leak before the car shows symptoms; some owners choose to wait until there is vibration or a thump. The mount bolts are one-time use, so new hardware is part of the job. xDrive cars use different mounts. Labor time: BMW warranty labor time not yet available for this job.

Parts prices

Tools you'll need
  • Engine support: a support bar, or a jack with a wood block under the oil pan
  • Long extensions, E-Torx/Torx sockets and a torque wrench
  • New mount bolts (the old ones are one-time use)
  • A helper to push the engine over while the old mount comes out
What it involves
Support the engine, raise it slightly, unbolt the left and right mounts and fit the new ones with new bolts. Owners report about 2 hours with a helper.
Risks and when to use a shop
Work only with the engine securely supported. Some owners say the front subframe has to be lowered, which makes it a bigger job. The bolts cannot be reused. xDrive cars take different mounts, so order by VIN. If you are not comfortable supporting an engine, use a shop.
