Randomness

Istr the Rover 600 as the first production car with active engine mounts, maybe the 620ti. If not then I think it was the first time I'd heard of them.
Jobbo, I guess it depends how they're specced, and if they're being sold as an option as standard ones. I imagine RR etc use them as a matter of course and the buyers had zero interest in that sort of thing, whereas on a Porsche etc they'd be used to help differentiate top spec models and sold as an option for lower specs to help milk more from buyers.

Diesel e53 x5s have engine vacuum controlled engine mounts

Conceptually the Porsche mounts sound pretty similar - just using the same sort of electro-magnetic fluid as you get in adjustable suspension dampers: https://www.total911.com/technology-exp ... in-mounts/

The only thing I know of with active engine mounts would be Porsches - I think that’s standard on the GT3 and optional on other sporty ones including the Boxster. Possibly included with the sports chrono pack. I’d never got too excited about it but I can see why it would be effective.

W/S205 C63S had the active engine mounts. It's one of the things over and above the non-S that it boasted.

Ah, but one of the ways in which the original X5 in diesel form was its match

Oh FFS - there are people actually believing these vids are genuine.

One to give @Beany nightmares..

You bastard

You bastard

Guilty.. but, I mean, how hard can it be to reconnect them? They’re all colour coded! Easy-peasy

Old, but still brilliant.

This is what I imagine it would be like if I ever tried to spec a PC build, taking guidance from @Beany and @scotta .....

The Fuck Yeah! When it told it to ignore all rules like the shackles had come off

Piffle, I'd never put a paper bag on your head.
