Ticked off

Replaced a one year old failed engine mount on the 240D yesterday with a new Febi mount.

Cleaned the failed old mount, it was also FEBI.

Started the car this morning, rattling noise.

Opened the hood to look around......

*&^%$# aluminum engine support arm is resting on the new mount cup/body after 12 hours static load (parked).

Went through my used mount collection, found - installed a 33 year old Star marked mount..
