I decide to replace the engine mounts when I replace the oil pan. Any brand that I should purchase? The engine mounts still in good condition, but have 103K miles on them.

Assuming you aren’t looking to install something stiffer, I’d just go with the OE Corteco mounts.

Left and right using the same part number? Thanks

Wondering why the right mount costs more than twice of the left? Thanks guys.

Are you looking at the OE mounts or the 335IS ones(the IS had an upgraded passenger)

Initially I thought he was looking for IS but his OP is asking about a 335i xDrive.

AFAIK the regular E90’s have same part for right and left mounts, even though RealOEM might show two different ones. That’s been my experience with my 328 but 100% double check for your car!

Turbo right mount is heat shielded.

Can't you just transfer the heat shield over to the new mount?

I checked on eBay. It says left and right are using the same part. I am confused.

there is the piece of rubber (shield) on top of the right mount. Can it transfer over?

Understandable, but definitely wouldn’t put too much stock into what eBay says.

Hopefully someone can answer this because I was unable to tell just by looking at photos.

I don't have Xdrive and don't have a 335i but all of the parts diagrams clearly indicate a separate right engine mount for the 335i xdrive that has the heat shield. It doesn't look like the heat shield bolts on either. On the mounts that don't have a heat shield, there's a small black rubber pad molded into the top of the mount. It looks like the heat shield is fused to this pad so I'm not sure how well you could reattach it, at least to have it last long. I'd personally pay the $70 extra for the correct mount and not worry about it.

After examining parts arrived today, they look identical but not the same. The right mount is about 4mm taller than the left mount.
