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..
