    wow.

    with that kind of price point, we should be seeing alot more M60/62 swaps in the near future.

    I paid over $400 for my type 5 m60 mounts directly from e30 300mm.de 3 years ago.

    awesome initiative guys

                So whats the downside of not using the subframe spacers? I know it will be a little more stress on the guibo but will it really be that bad? How far off would the angles be for the driveshaft?

                  When we tested without it there was really no additional effect that could be felt. No extra vibrations which is what we were expecting or anything.

                  The spacer is only .75". Degree change is minimal. The center bearing ends up straighting out the back half of the driveshaft which may be why no vibrations are felt.

                  The only down may be as you said may be additional stress to the guibo.

                  If the spacers are a make it or break it issue, we also offer moving up the mount locations up the .75"s (cost for these custom mounts is $350) This will require oil pan modification/notching service which we charge $400 for.

                    Will these work in an e28? If not is it possible to make some?

                      We have not verified these in an e28. Only an e30 and an e36 at the moment. If we get our hands on an e28 engine subframe we may be able to see if these will work as they are.

                          What's the benefit in aluminum versus steel aside from no change for galvanic reaction between the aluminum block and the steel mounts?

                          My concern is mostly in the fact that aluminum gives no sign of failure, in other words it does not show stress like steel would. I suppose it shouldn't matter since the OEM motor mount arms were of cast aluminum. Thoughts?

                            The only major difference is weight. They are about half the weight of the steels.

                            We do not recommend solid mounts with the aluminum mounts. Vibrations can stress welds. Something to keep in mind.
