Fitment on a used gearbox 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 W212 E-Class runs from 2009 to 2016, with a facelift in 2013, so both a 2008 and a 2010 car fall either side of the generation boundary — a 2008 E-Class is the outgoing W211 generation (2002–2009), while a 2010 car is the W212, making them different platforms entirely. Within the same generation, fitment is primarily driven by your engine code rather than the year, so always cross-reference the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before buying. Confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
The W211 (2002–2009) and W212 (2009–2016) are entirely separate generations with different subframes and engine bay layouts, so a gearbox mount from one will not cross over to the other. The engine code is the most reliable guide within each generation, so supply that to the breaker rather than relying on the year alone. Do not assume fitment across this generation boundary.
No — SE, Sport, AMG Line and Avantgarde are trim designations that affect interior, wheels and cosmetic features, not the drivetrain mounting hardware. What determines the correct gearbox mount is the engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel) and whether the car has an automatic or manual gearbox. Strip away the badge and give the breaker your engine code and gearbox type for the most accurate match.
Yes — all E-Class variants across every generation (W124, W210, W211, W212, W213) are rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive layouts with a longitudinally mounted gearbox, so a gearbox mount (also called a transmission mount) is a genuine fitment on all of them. There is no front-wheel-drive E-Class variant, so you will not encounter a situation where this part simply does not exist on the car. Your engine code and gearbox type (manual or automatic) are the key details to give the breaker.
The W212 was facelifted in 2013, so a 2015 car is a post-facelift model while pre-facelift cars run from 2009 to 2013. Both sit within the W212 generation, but mounting and ancillary components can change mid-production even within a generation, so whether a pre-facelift mount crosses the 2013 facelift boundary is something to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and engine code. Supply your engine code from the V5 to give the breaker the best chance of a correct match.
Yes, gearbox type matters — a manual and an automatic gearbox are physically different units with different weights and dimensions, and the mounts are designed around the specific gearbox they support. Always tell the breaker whether your car is a manual or automatic alongside your engine code, as sourcing a mount from the wrong gearbox type is a common and avoidable mismatch. Your V5 or a VIN check will confirm both the engine code and gearbox type if you are unsure.
