Not sure if you can do this or not but on E90s you can loosen the subframe so that it hangs down with everything but the motor mounts attached.

Yep. I don't see why not as long as you either disconnect the steering rack from the steering shaft or unbolt the rack from the sub frame. That's how I did motor mounts on my e53.

We're now ~$785 poorer. Had about $500 worth of service parts (I went ahead and ordered the engine mounts even if they are good, but they're expensive) for the E70 and then another $220 for a trans service on the F15. I don't want to have to do a trans swap on the F15 later...

Will be hitting this again Friday evening. Updates to follow.
