Cheap BMW i5 Gearbox Mount

The BMW i5 (G60, launched 2023) is a fully electric vehicle and has no internal combustion engine, no conventional gearbox, and therefore no gearbox mount in the traditional sense — the electric drive unit is mounted differently using motor mounts rather than a gearbox mount assembly. If your i5 has a drivetrain mounting or vibration issue, the part you are most likely looking for is an electric motor mount or a drive unit mounting bracket, not a gearbox mount. Speak to a breaker and describe your exact symptom, as they can identify the correct mounting component from your registration.

It is very unlikely to be the right part, as the i5 is electric and does not have a gearbox in the conventional sense that would require a gearbox mount. The term may have been used loosely to describe a drive unit mount or rear motor mount, which are the mounting components that actually exist on the i5's electric drivetrain. Ask the breaker to confirm the exact part number and description against your registration before ordering anything.

The i5 uses electric motor mounts and drive unit brackets to secure the electric drive unit to the subframe, and these are the components that can wear or fail in the way a traditional gearbox mount might on a combustion-engined car. The exact configuration can vary between the rear-wheel-drive and xDrive all-wheel-drive variants, so confirm your drivetrain type with the breaker. Supplying your registration or VIN to the breaker will allow them to identify the precise mounting parts that apply to your specific i5.

Trim and badge level in themselves do not affect mounting part fitment, but the underlying drivetrain does — the eDrive40 is rear-wheel drive with a single motor, while the M60 is an xDrive all-wheel-drive twin-motor variant, and these will have different drive unit mounting arrangements. The M Sport designation is a cosmetic and equipment package and has no bearing on drivetrain mounting components. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker rather than going by trim name alone.

The i5 G60 generation launched in 2023 and as of 2025 remains in its first generation without a significant facelift, so mounting parts from early production cars may well be compatible with later ones — but mid-production changes to ancillary and mounting components do occur and cannot be ruled out. You should confirm compatibility against your specific registration with the breaker, as they can cross-reference part numbers to check for any running changes. Never assume fitment based on year alone.
