4.8L E70 Motor Mount DIY

Can someone please point me in the right direction of an engine mount DIY. I developed a vibration at idle in drive with foot on brake and passing 1500 - 2000 RPM. 95% sure I have a bad mount and after 114,000 miles I'm going to change them both.

Problem is I can't find a DIY specific to a 2007 X5 N62 4.8L.

Thanks in advance!

I would love to see a writeup on this with PICS if you do this, it will help many on this board. I will tell you the right passenger side is a piece of cake, only need to remove the starter and exhaust for access. However the Left drivers side requires removal of the front differential and lowering the engine subframe cradle several inches for access. This is from what I gather from my TIS service software.

I have said it before, best to lower the sub frame engine assembly at 100,000 miles and replace all the gaskets, motor mounts etc... Only thing is you need access to a lift and a subframe jack. Checkout this youtube video and you will get my idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0oGe1t022E

I'm curious as to how difficult and involved lowering the subframe is. That's what's making me think dealer repair Vs. DIY.
