2007 e350 sport. 2010 350 4matic sport. Worlds first W212 E63R self built.
the only thing that raises my eyebrows, when they say we have not encountered these problems. That's because not enough people with m157 owns them. Every w212 has the same airflow. So they will all suffer the same fate period. These engines get extremely hot. The radiant heat from the bridge pipe along with massive tq that the other platforms do not have will test these mounts over and over. Heat shielding is a must! Upgrading the materials if they have not yet is a must. I tried warning them prior to release. I even offered to test them . We were excited to see a new design but at the moment I see no reason to swap from the ece mounts I have which are now Boostedbenz mounts which are atleast years of multiple revisions to the materials that are used and how easy it is to swap the inserts . Hopefully they get the materials sorted, so that we have more options. Options are great especially for a platform where there isn't many. But they are going to find out how many times they will need to revise them. And unfortunately comfort will have to be sacrificed a bit for mounts that won't collapse. Which is fine for most.

Cifdig - that is exactly why I did not have the shop make heat shielding and put the other set in. There is a point where heat soak is going to take over and with out a new variation of the viscoelastimer make up the same heat related failure is inevitable. More so possibly as I am in FL and over the summer months the heat just does not stop. I would put any car in the south in the same boat.
Back when I lived near Chicago it was fun to take out the turbo cars in the 20deg days just to feel the added power (until I heat soaked the intercoolers).

Hey Quadturbo, do you know whether your engine was pulled out or subframe was dropped for the motor mount replacement procedure?

I heard (from elsewhere) that there was a way to jack the engine off its mounts but you have to pull the front axles to get it to be able to move up enough.

If you do get the CS mounts installed and you live where it's warmer - or maybe just as a cheap-ish precaution - I recommend a head shroud on them. I think they sell those. I wish I had done that... I don't anticipate any problems, but it's a good idea due to the turbos being so close.

Could be - but you could contact them directly too... they're easily one of the best companies I've ever dealt with. When they had the failure in the field that the post refers to, they proactively reached out to me to see how mine were doing. Excellent people! @Creative Steel
