Fitment on a used engine mount varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The E60 generation ran from 2003 to 2010 and the F10 from 2010 to 2017, and these are completely different platforms with different subframes and engine positioning, so mounts from one generation will not cross to the other. Engine mounts on the 5 Series are specific to the generation and, crucially, to the engine code within that generation, so always start with your generation and then your engine code. Confirm the exact reference with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Not necessarily – even within the same generation, different engine codes can use different mounts, and the 520d and 525d in generations like the E60 or F10 used different engine variants despite both being diesel. The badge alone is not reliable; what matters is the engine code, which you can find on your V5 or through a VIN check. Give the breaker your engine code and they can confirm whether the mount is shared or different.
The F10 received a facelift in 2013, and while the bodywork and interior changed, engine mount fitment is driven by the engine code rather than the facelift date. That said, there were engine specification changes across F10 production that could affect ancillary and mounting details, so you should confirm against your specific registration with the breaker rather than assume pre- and post-facelift mounts are always identical.
SE and M Sport are trim levels on the 5 Series that relate to cosmetic and suspension differences rather than the engine itself, so trim level does not affect engine mount fitment. What matters is that both cars share the same engine code – if they do, the mount will be the same part. Be aware a salvaged part from an M Sport may carry different ancillary brackets in some cases, so confirm the exact match with the breaker.
Yes – engine mounts exist on every variant of the BMW 5 Series regardless of fuel type, as all versions have an engine that requires mounting to the subframe. This includes petrol, diesel, and hybrid models across all generations from the E12 through to the current G30. The specific mount design varies significantly by engine code and generation, so the part is universal in concept but not interchangeable across variants without checking.
The engine mount itself is determined by the engine code and generation, not the body style, so a Touring and a saloon with the same engine code within the same generation will use the same mount. Body style does not change how the engine is mounted to the subframe on the 5 Series. Confirm the engine code matches between the donor car and yours, and the breaker can verify the part is correct for your vehicle.
