If it's anything like the W212 AMG, the subframe will need to be dropped for the method that the dealership will use and then we're talking about a few hundred dollar part and a $1000 labor bill - allocate $1000-1500 for a dealer and possibly 75% less with a competent Indy.
and my thoughts are replace both when you're in there, they'll advise the same - how many miles on these mounts?

I'm the third owner but see nothing in the history about a prior replacement, so 59k miles on them I assume!

Thanks Peter! Good call to replace both.. have an extended warranty, so wondering about the logistics of that. Hoping they'll only charge minimal labor plus parts on the second mount seeing as they're already dropping the subframe but we shall see.

Thanks the advice everyone. Car's going in for service tomorrow (also needs a new exhaust flap actuator) - I called the parts department ahead of booking the service and they said the lead time on the parts was only a day or two. We shall see!

While the engine is out - anything else to fix/maintain? (Cough RMS cough)
for the m157 there is a laundry list of these "while engine is out" items
How many miles on the engine?

RMS was done shortly before I bought the car (58k miles) and have done less than 1500 miles since. Checked the service log prior to purchase and it was done with the newer part numbers.
