Engine Mounting Bracket

Clarksimonac · 05-02-2023, 01:20 PM

I have a 2005 BMW X3 3.0 Manual and i am having issues with finding this exact part, I believe it is a Engine Mounting bracket. It is mounted below a resinator and above the right side axle / transfer case where they join.

Attached is a photo I have taken of mine that is broken and another photo of a “new” one from Walmart ( just to see the similarities) if anyone has felt with the issue of replacing one please help me out, Thanks In advanced

That is the correct part. If the price is $71.95 USD it's a terrible price. MSRP here is about USD$60 and can be found for under $50. Here's a link to the parts diagram. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=22_0095

Bracket is #2 PN 22116750852. If you are looking for a used part, try ebay searching on the part number.

If you buy it new, the heat shield (#7) is PN 22116754500 and is attached with rivets.

I'd replace both engine mounts (#3 & 4) at the same time. I suspect they are the underlying cause for the broken bracket. To actually do the job, look for a DIY on the engine mounts and replace the bracket "while you're in there."
