I just picked up a low mile f15 to replace my 237k mile e70.

I have to ask if you have noticed a little more NVH at low revs with the n57, or does mine already need motor mounts at 78k miles?

Funny you mention that. I have also noticed the same on ours. We are right at 100k miles and I was going to add motor mounts to my list of "to dos" along with some other 100k maintenance. The NVH isn't terrible, but it has started to make plastics rattle and make noise under certain conditions.

I still have our E70 which has fresh mounts on it (<1000 miles) so it's a very obvious difference. That thing feels like a tank.

Good to know!

My e70 has adaptive suspension so it feels wayyy more planted overall. But I’m enjoying hypermiling the F15 ��
