Hi Skyline,
That looks pretty much the same as my X1 looks when the engine mountings were broken.
I think the engine in the X1 moves a lot. It even has a sway bar connected between the front suspension mount, which the Mini doesn't have, and you know they share the same engine and platform.

After seeing this thread, I just took a closer look at my top passenger side engine mount. I think I see a visible crack in the rubber bushing right below the rectangular metal piece on the engine side (see pics w/ area circled in red). It also looks like there's fluid coming out of the bottom. The wheel well side of the mount seems fine. You guys think the mount is shot?
