Might as well do engine mounts while you're in there.
Do you have access to TIS? Don't know what BMW charges for it, but might be worth signing up for it and printing off what you need for the job.

Hey thanks for this! And the illustration below! Might go look for some engine support bars at Harbor Freight.
