Used engine mounts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Yes, engine mounts genuinely exist on every BMW X6 variant — the X6 uses a conventional engine-and-gearbox powertrain bolted to a subframe via rubber mounts, so the part is real and commonly needed. Every engine offered in the X6 across all generations uses them, whether petrol or diesel. When searching, your engine code (found on your V5C or a VIN check) is the most important detail to give a breaker.
The E71 and F16 are completely different generations with different subframe and engine-bay designs, so a mount from a 2008–2014 car is very unlikely to fit a 2014–2019 car. Even where the same engine code carried across generations, the mounting points and bracket geometry changed with the new platform. Keep your search within the correct generation and give the breaker your engine code to be sure.
The badge or trim level itself does not determine which engine mount you need — what matters is the engine code underneath. The xDrive30d and xDrive40d use different diesel engines with different outputs, so they are likely to use different mounts; however, if two cars share the same engine code, the mount should be the same regardless of badging. Give the breaker your engine code (printed on the V5C) rather than just the model name to avoid an avoidable mismatch.
The E71 generation ran from 2008 to 2014, so both a 2011 and a 2013 car sit within the same generation, which is a good start. Fitment within a generation is generally more likely, but ancillary mounting changes can occur mid-production without a formal facelift, so you should confirm compatibility against your specific registration and engine code with the breaker. Sharing your engine code gives the breaker the best chance of locating an exact match.
Yes, petrol and diesel variants of the X6 typically use different engine mounts because the engines themselves are physically different units with different mounting arrangements. Within petrol or diesel there can be further variation depending on the specific engine code — for example, a six-cylinder and a V8 petrol are unlikely to share the same mount. Always lead with your engine code when contacting a breaker rather than just saying petrol or diesel.
The G06 X6, launched in 2019, is a different generation to the F16 (2014–2019) and sits on a different platform, so the two are not expected to share engine mounts. Even if an engine code appears similar across the two generations, the mounting geometry and bracket design may differ. Confirm against your registration and engine code with the breaker before purchasing any used mount.
