    That's good to hear! When M3 Ryan and I scratch built my M30 motor mounts....I can tell you it was a PITA. It took at least 20 hours. Of course that was for the first one, if I were to duplicate them it would be a lot less. But I know there is a decent about of work to do these right. So hats off to you. Depending on price, I might pick up a set just so I have them just on the off chance I do a m60 swap.;)

    Thank you for the advice. We want to hear what people think and this is the exact feedback we are looking for. Thank you.

    It will be worth subscribing too!
    No problem, if there is one thing I love is making the M60/2 swap more "correct".

    I am assuming you guys are making the mounts that require spacers because you have a swapped car with them already and you are just looking to reproduce those rather then developing a new set + notching said cars pan?

    If you ask me its worth the extra time and effort. That would make you guys the only source for 'proper' motor mounts. By contracting out a welding shop to do the welding work for oil pans that customers can send in would also give you an additional revenue stream, and provide a welding consistency customers can rely on. At least consider making two versions, for those who want to use spacers and for those who want to notch.

    If you would like to discuss further how to offer a more complete package/options/resources let me know by PMing me. I wouldn't mind collaborating since I love the m60/2 swap!

    I'm interested in the RPM mod. PM me regarding availability and price.
    I'd also like to see your brake booster options.

    The 5 speed requires no modifications to the factory transmission mounts.

    We will post that info very soon!

    Will these mounts require the use of subframe spacers? I wouldn't waste your time compounding the problem of bump steer and drive train angle (and wear).

    It has long been the norm to use subframe spacers while preforming the m60 / m62 v8 swap into an e30. Where did this norm start? Well basically as far as I can tell it started with an old-er swap guide which you will find somewhat translated here. So for the sake of convenience people


    Make motor mounts that require the person to notch the oil pan (or offer the service to notch the oil pan for members).

    Ball park price on the mounts? I would like to see them in the ~$100 range. The 200 Euro price with spacers that 300mm is asking is astronomical in relation to material cost and production time.

    Just wanted to update everyone to let them now mounts are now available!

    All mounts include subframe spacers (which are option in use). The purpose is only to keep the driveline straighter. The swap will work without them however. 10.9 grade hard ware is included.
