Greetings ... Great video.. it happens to many people, and BMW has not done anything about it... Service stations take a lot of money from people for that work because the car's warranty has expired... I have questions.. Where did you buy the part?? (I know there is an improved version as well) What is the condition of the other engine mounts? I'm getting ready to modify the engine mounts on our car.. I bought glue that turns into strong flexible rubber.. I will glue the cracks that have started... and I will glue a bigger tire around to get the same effect as on that bracket you showed (more tires and less stretching) I see that they are filled with oil... I think that they could also be filled with this rubber-glue... to get strength... I don't believe that it will affect the vibrations much, especially the rear wheels. Maybe at least try...

Thank you! I bought the part in the online shop: www.hubauer-shop.de/en/carparts/i-models-parts-catalog/i3-meg/ You must compare the part numbers because there is a version with a thicker mounting screw. For now, the remaining mounts are ok - 120 K per clock. You can experiment with the glue, but I don't believe you can glue it. The power of the motor is huge if you push pedal to metal. I have seen polymer replacements but no experience. The oil fill could be to achieve a softer vibration reduction with a harder rubber shell. If the whole part were a solid monolith, then the vibration of the motor would be more noticeable and every pedal to metal beat would be audible. But keep do experiments and let know the results😊

With which torque did you tighten the big screw? And do you have to support the engine in 2 places?

With E20 socket. Support for motor only in 1 place gently rised.

Is it really necessary to disconnect hv battery with this job?

You need to disconect HV battery if you have any kind of work from/ in engine bay. It takes only a few seconds to disconect it. + You need to gently lift engine. Any error on any step and you are baked. (For example you smash some HV cable with hammer, tool…etc) !!!The same procedure if you need to change left side, only on left side you don’t have free space!!! There you can touch HV cable many times. !!!☠️☠️So never work in engine bay if HV battery is connected!!!!☠️☠️
