1. A computer-implemented method for operating an automotive drive supported on a beam via an active engine bearing, the method comprising:

  • determining, by a computer processor, a change in an instantaneous operating variable of the automotive drive from a change in a state variable of the active engine bearing that influences a dynamic characteristic of the active engine bearing; and

    selectively influencing, by the processor, the dynamic characteristic based on the determined change in the instantaneous operating variable, wherein the selective influencing is performed responsive to a detection of a change in an actuating variable of the automotive drive that affects the instantaneous variable;

    wherein the state variable includes a pressure in a hydraulic or pneumatic volume of the active engine bearing.
