Hi,
I just replaced engine mounts, there are 2 ones, with original BMW parts. For my issue the engine mount replacement was sufficient. The problem did not return up to now, we’ll see.
Yes, the transmission also have mounts but I guess the vibration symptoms are different, it would shake during also shifting maybe. In my case, the car was vibrating only in idle in Drive or reverse mode.
The mechanic showed me a quick test;
He opened the hood and showed me how the engine moves when somebody get in the car and put it in D or R. The whole engine block was laying too much to right or left side (in D or R) before the mounts were replaced, as if on a spunge. It is normally expected to move but not too excessive. This can be a good test for you.
Hope you will solve it!
