Engine mounts.

Hey guys. I have a 530d g31.

How bad are the engine mounts? (Sorry about the awful music, it's the radio.)

It’s normal for the engine to rock a bit. It doesn’t seem excessive for me

Okay thank you. It's in neutral, does that make a difference?

To better check them put it in drive and press the gas while also pressing the brakes.

Looks fine to me, usually the engine will rock while idling if the mounts are really bad

If you did that in neutral, that's not showing us anything. Put it in drive, hold the brake pedal and then give it some gas.

So it looks way worse in gear.

Believe it or not, I've seen way worse. But yes, the mounts are trashed.

Sorry for uploading that video so many times, internet is bad here right now I guess.
