A lot of people end up changing the entire front subframe to that of a 2002 when they discover that their old drivers side motor mount looks like this.
As my old mount sagged, it caused the engine to shift and sag with it. BMW doesn't make the old, poorly designed specimen anymore; I don't blame them.
Fortunately Ireland Engineering did a run of urethane motor mounts. They still had a few of them in stock and so I was able to grab one.
With the new mount there's a bit more engine noise and vibration when the car runs but the peace of mind is worth it.
