MAP sensor/motor mounts

Hey all, our 2012 N52 X3 tripped a 1198 for the MAP sensor. Upon inspection, it looks like the motor mounts are done for, which allowed the MAP sensor wiring to rub on the AC line. So two questions:

Is there a MAP sensor repair pigtail part number? I can't find the part online, so worst case I'll go bother the BMW dealer parts counter. It's a 3 wire connector needs to fit 13628657300 sensor.

For the motor mounts, there's some discussion on the xdrive cars about pulling the axle for the driver's side. Is that necessary on the F25 N52?

Thank you for the links! Unfortunately, those are for the arm, not the mount itself. Any ideas there? For these parts:

To close the loop on this: the motor mounts pretty much slide right out once you jack the engine up high enough. I didn't have to remove the throttle body or the support brackets to change the mounts. From start to finish, about 3 hours, including a break for dinner.
