2002 S210 Avantgarde 320CDi in silver. Black leather interior
I replaced my engine mounts at the weekend. I6 320 CDi engine. What an unbelievable difference. The n/s one was totally goosed and the dome portion of the top was squashed just below flat. The o/s one was better but not by much. Now the shudder at start and stop is totally gone and things are overall much smoother. Wish I'd done it sooner and excluding the time to raise and lower the car it was about 20 mins each.

I'd suggest you now do the gearbox mount as well.
 
+1 for doing the gearbox mount, £25-30 IIRC.
Mine were both gone on my CLS55 one was collapsed completely the other was not quite so bad, my engine was actually sitting on the cross member there was a groove worn across the ally sump where it was sat on the steering rack (I think), replacing the gearbox mount let the gearbox sit 1"-1.5" higher.
 
Good point. I'll look into that further. Thanks chaps.
