Flex Disk WIS
Based on my car vibrating slightly b/w 20~40mph, and going away when I step on the accelerator, I believe my flex discs may need replacing. So I wanna have a look to properly diagnose. I've seen a video, but not on our car, so I'd like to see a WIS for an M271 to confirm my suspicion. This could help more people with vibrations who don't have tire trouble.
Since motor/tranny mounts could be an issue, but not a DIY for me, I wonder how easy it is to check them? Any pointers in this directions would be great too.

Here's another informative look at replacing your flex discs. Keep in mind, the most common visual signs of failing parts are:
- Cracks that appear in the face and/or webs of the disc
- Rubber separation from the six steel bosses
- Bunching, knotting or distortion of the flex disc
- Reinforcing cord is visible
This is similar as it applies to a W210 car:
