Description of the problem	I was going over a small bump in the road at 30 mph and my engine mount failed. All four aluminum bolts sheared off and the engine dropped. This drop snapped my passenger drive shaft (half axle) in two pieces. js i think bmw has a serious problem with the strength of the engine mount hardware. The engine mount bolts should be stronger. The failure mode is dangerous. js
