OK, here's the latest. Let me start by saying that MB didn't make it easy to change motor mounts under the V12. Mermad6.3 is absolutely correct, you cannot see if the motor mounts are damaged while they are in the car. Not a good design, there should be some visual way of telling. Let's move on...things that have to come off to get to the mounts...
1) Air filter intake scoops.
2) Air filter housing assemblies.
3) Mass flow air sensors.
4) Oil dipstick tube, remove fastener at opening, and remove bolt down by pan. Still cannot remove the tube, but at least it can rotate enough to provide the necessary clearance.
5) Coolant overflow hose.
6) Radiator fan shroud.

That's all I can remember for now. NOTE! The oil pan is not as stiff as old American oil pans. Even though I used a 2 x 4 on top of my floor jack to protect the oil pan, it still bent slightly. It would be a good idea to cut a close-matching piece out of 2 x 8 or 2 x 10 for better support. Message too long, see next post
