:listen: its a wear and tear thing bro. mountings will wear in time. wht's the mileage of the car? if its abt 150K km, then its normal for the mouting to be changed but frankly I have a feeeling its not the mounting that has gone kaput Anyway, no worries bro ....if its the engine mounting, it wont 'koyak' your wallet .... :wink:

I think it is less than RM200 provided you dont buy from AB

 

[louiswaw]

in total or RM200/pcs ?? Feel that my front wheel like a bit 'longgar' feeling

Had the same vibration issue, whole interior shaking especially in the morning.
Then advised to have changed my gearbox mount.
SC told me engine mount less wear and tear for diesels but the gearbox mount eats a lot.
So much torque'ma.hehehe.

Actually I'm quite surprised that price of the engine mounting is even cheaper than my previous Honda Accord. I think we should get it changed so we get the new car feel. How many mounts are there in total? 4 pieces for engine and gearbox altogether?

I did mine and posted in the e60 maintenance thread. I cannot recall price now but take a look see there

Checked and it was RM490 for 2 pieces, haha. That means even if we change all 4 pieces, it's still less than RM1K which is CHEAP My bloody Accord mounts costs me RM1.6K for 6 pieces.

 

[cyberez]

When replacing your engine mounting, also replace the gearbox mounting (qty 2). Price of this mount slightly cheaper than the enging mount. Where are you located...KL/PJ/JB?

I m located at PJ.... where do u recommend?

I just check today at Bavarian Auto and for my E60, the engine mount is RM285 each (2 units needed) and gear box mount is RM40 each (2 units needed). After that find our favourite mechanic and ask him to change
