Gents,

My 05 with 55k miles is currently in the shop for the brake fluid flush and new shoes/rotors. Service writer calls me to inform me that the motor mounts are leaking. He is quoting 6/7 hours labor plus parts to make right. Does anybody out there have any experience with this? Looking for feedback with cost, parts, etc. Thanks guys

i was just quoted $1150 to replace motor mounts and tranny mount on my E63...

the motor mounts i believe were $180-$220 each
the tranny mount was about $120-170

ive heard on the E63's there is a header obstruction to the mounts, or else i would do the job myself..

parts are around $300 or so. I changed mine and labor was $90

common failure. Cost of 2 mounts less than 300 labor about 2 hrs.

I bought all my mounts for a tick under $200 and I had them all bolted in in roughly a little more than an hour.

If that is an MB workshop, I would suggest finding a good indy who should be able to decimate that price you are about to be given.

+1 ^ i got mine for about $200 and did it myself with floor jack and some 2x4's

I need to do mine soon. Where did you guys buy yours? I've heard the eBay ones are fine.

Gents,

Thanks for chiming in and offering your advice/suggestions. Can anyone recommend a place to buy these mounts for a decent price? I am going to ask my Indy what he charges next.

Pretty sure there is a DIY for it on here, not 100% sure though.

SterlingE55

ah Pelican parts. You were too slow. I already ordered mine from parts geek. I'll think of you next time. Thanks guys.

Yeah my 2007 E63 motormounts gave up at around 55k as well, I was covered under warranty for that though.

+ Priceless. My motor mounts on the E320 were done for around that price. Never go to a dealer that kind of work.

Pelican Parts is the BOMB. I order just about all my parts from them.

Quadcammer

pelican parts is ok, but there are tons of sources for oem parts that are cheaper...like oediscountparts.com...they have the same part # for $20 less each

Anyone has experience between these? Which one is the best quality?

Vs OEM?

OEM

gaspam

i used the first one on mine... fwiw bilstein makes some of the best suspensions in the world so they are as good as, if not better than oem

bigben320e

Great, thanks for the link. I use them as well, ordered a sunshade for my R500.

OEM is usually best, but with OEM supplied parts...same thing except no MB logo on it.

CLKCLK

Thanks,

I also have bilstein on mine (made in Germany ), but I did not have the stock on before to compare. My headers cracked so I think I should try a different mount.

Bilsteins are good no worries
If you are making more than 500wtq guess what you will be changing them every year regardless lol

SterlingE55

Haha considering the same ones are used in all the E-classes I don't think they were spec'd for 600+ftlbs at the crank. But $150 of yearly cost is worth the trade off.

Hulk

yup bilsteins will do the job and much cheaper than OEM

Staff@WORLD

We have them for $230.00 for the pair and we stock them. We are located in Torrance.
