Used BMW M5 Engine Mount

Yes, the BMW M5 uses conventional rubber engine mounts to locate the engine in the subframe, and they are a genuine serviceable part available from breakers. Every generation of M5 — from the E28 through E34, E39, E60, F10, and F90 — has engine mounts, so you are looking for a real part. The exact mount design differs significantly between generations and engine codes, so identifying your generation and engine code before searching is essential.

No, these are completely different generations with entirely different engines — the E60 uses the S85 V10 naturally aspirated unit, while the F10 uses the S63 twin-turbocharged V8 — so the engine mounts are not interchangeable. The subframe geometry, engine dimensions, and mounting points differ substantially between these two generations. Always match the mount to your generation and engine code rather than just the M5 badge.

The Competition package on the F10 M5 was primarily a chassis and suspension upgrade affecting dampers and ride height, not the engine mounting arrangement, so the engine mounts are expected to be the same as the standard F10 M5. Trim level and option packages like Competition do not affect engine mount fitment — what matters is the engine code, which is S63 across both. Confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration to be certain.

The F10 M5 ran from 2011 to 2016 and all cars in that range share the S63 engine, so mounts from a 2012, 2013, or 2014 car are likely to be compatible. However, BMW did make running production changes during a generation's life, so whether a mount from a specific year within that range is identical should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration number. Giving the breaker your engine code rather than just the year is the most reliable way to get the right part.

Body style makes no difference to engine mount fitment — the mount locates the engine in the subframe and is unaffected by whether the car is a saloon or any other body style. What drives fitment is the engine code, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check. Focus on matching generation and engine code when sourcing from a breaker.

The single most useful detail you can give a breaker is your engine code, which is printed on your V5C logbook or available through a VIN check — for example S85 for an E60, S63 for an F10 or F90, or S62 for an E39. Year and generation help narrow it down, but the engine code confirms it, especially where BMW made mid-production changes to mounting hardware. Always ask the breaker to verify the part against your full registration before purchasing.
