Controllable engine mounts
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine has engine mounts that can be enabled, familiar from vehicles with diesel engines. The engine mounts that can be enabled are set by means of partial vacuum to hard or soft to ensure a comfortable start and idling of the combustion engine. As soon as the partial vacuum is no longer applied to the engine mounts, they are switched to hard. The electric changeover valve of the controllable engine mounts is activated by the Digital Engine Electronics (DME).
