Major PITA
Quick update as I'm working through this: The mounting arm is covered by a heat shield with small t25 torx bolts all over it. Removing is tediuous but required to gain access to one of the mount arm bolts. The bottom left is impossible to remove without disconnecting the axle shaft case. This design is comically bad and I'm convinced done on purpose to force you to take it in for service.

Lol this all sounds insanely not worth it. Anyone get a quote from the dealer or an Indy?

Prior to getting to this point in this photo you would have needed to
1.Support engine 2.Disconnect O2 sensors, -Drop exhaust down and back several inches. ( I recommend soaking bolts/nuts via liquid wrench and using high impact drill with a LOT of torque.) I spent 1+ hour getting DP out of exhuast because of the tolerance and carbon build up. I recommend spraying liquid wrench in between to help slide it out (Will need to renew DP to turbo gasket and clamp) 3. Remove passenger wheel, Brake disc, caliper, Caliper bracket, Upper wishbone/Pivot bearing lower control arm and swaybar link. I discovered plenty of buildup on bolt/nut for wishbone, Required heat gun and air impact hammer to push pivot bearing up and out. (Can be purchased at harbor freight for cheap) At this point the axle shaft is held in the support bearing bracket with snap pin. In the blue you will need to leverage block of wood or large flat head screwdriver and bump the axle shaft out of the support bearing in the direction where the arrow shows. (Installation is reverse) Last edited by bigfwop; 09-22-2021 at 11:47 PM.. |

As you can see highlighted in Yellow, Clearance is now accessible to the bottom E16 bolt.
You will then need to slide axle out of the wheel bearing drop and pull as the axle shaft is really long. (You don't need to move axle completely out of the strut. once the axle shaft makes clearance for the bracket you can remove the support bracket and put to the side. (Some diff fluid may leak) I'm tired. More write up coming tmro |

Wondering if anyone has a DIY guide to replace the engine mounts on a 35i? I have SDrive, I just did the transmission mount and it was a bit of PITA. Had to get the BMW pull/press tool to remove it.
