Uppler Engine Mount Repair and Upgrade

Just finished replacing the motor mount on our 2017 Clubman S All 4. Bought the JCW/GP version from Pelican Parts along with the Powerflex bushings. All in the cost was about $300 (including 1 trip to AutoZone for some Torx sockets E12 E14, and E16).

Nice benefit of the repair is now my 1 to 2 shift is buttery smooth.

We had about 53k miles on the clock and was made aware of a small tear about 18 months ago (10k miles). Dealer wanted $1400 to do the repair.

I'm about to tackle this job either this weekend or next. Where did you support the engine when removing the mount?

Super later reply, sorry. But I put a short length of 2x4 (or any block of wood) under the engine then used a hydraulic lower profile jack.

All good, I ended up just supporting it where the lower mount attaches to the motor.

It's amazing how improved the vibrations are even with the inserts vs the broken mount haha

I also have a 2017 S all 4 manual. I replaced this at 65k with the powerflex inserts. I assume I will need to do it again around 130k. What is the difference between the JCW mount and the S mount? More heavy duty?

How are the vibrations with the Powerflex inserts on this mount? I replaced the same mount on my R55 and added the Powerflex insert, and the vibrations were quite strong at idle, so much so that if I were to do it again on that platform I would skip the inserts.
