Found the picture I was referring to earlier: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1243089 See post 16.

Just an update so others have answers. I don't use this forum much and didn't realize the diesel-only section. Anyway, it was the passenger motor mount. It collapsed and grinds on hard left turns. Fairly easy to replace but you need to have an engine hoist or engine bar to hold the motor up from the top and drop the subframe a little. I jacked my car WAY up with huge stands to give some room and use a jack to lower the sub frame some. Good videos on youtube for this. Make sure you order the right parts! They are different part numbers on the diesel FOR SURE!
