Engine mount control: Function

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 changeover valve connects the engine mounts to the vacuum supply. When activated by the DDE master control module, the changeover valve switches vacuum to the engine mounts which in turn switch to "soft".

The engine mounts are activated as follows:

From "soft" to "hard" when 1050 rpm is exceeded
From "hard" to "soft" when 950 rpm is not reached
