I think my car N20 engine mount is starting to go bad, but i am not sure.

Occasionally i can feel vibration inside the cabin. But only sometimes

Does bad engine mount cause vibration consistenly? Or any other symptoms?

Thanks.

I had a problem with the engine mount. On the trip everything was fine, but when the car was jammed there was a strong vibration

Watch the engine while someone revs it. If the engine rocks by more than perhaps a half inch that could be an indication of bad mounts.

Can you let us know exactly when it vibrates? You said sometimes, is it usually when you're stopped at red lights/Stop Signs? Accelerating or slowing down?

sometime when slowing down and hitting the brake, i feel vibration, not 100% reproduceable, when accelerating, no issue

[Billfitz]

Bad mounts are felt on acceleration, not deceleration.

Maybe somebody knows when i acceleration from 80 to 100 i can hear bass sound and low vibrations on the steering wheels.. when the engine is cold, it feels a vibration when the D or R gear is engaged.. could it be an engine pillow?

Open the bonnet, rev the engine and see it dance...

With my E36, I would just lift the car and do a visual inspection. For F30 that probably means removing bottom plate.
Just order new ones and inspect the old ones. If cracked, dried out or leaking fluid replace them straight away, if not then send back the new ones and get a refund.

Can the engine mount also cause a bass sound between 80-100 km / h? When the engine is off and I start to push and pull it, it feels like it is moving (f30 328ixd)
