I'd read that e36 m3 mounts could be used to replace the stock e30 m42 mounts, provided the locating tabs on the motor mounts were shaved off.
I did this, along with e21 transmission mounts, and while many things are worlds better than they were with 200k mile torn oem trans mounts and one leaking pass side engine mount, I'm noticing vibration in the cabin when stopped.
Since the new mounts definitely have the motor sitting higher than it was before, I'd be suspecting driveshaft alignment, but this happens at idle (a steady 5-600rpm in neutral), so the driveshaft would not be spinning.
Was the e36 m3 motor mount idea bunk info? If I should ditch them I'd likely look at the e28 535i mounts, the oem m42's are too damn expensive.
