    Might need to cut the locating nubs off, I don't remember.

    I'd give them a shot. Seems like AKG/Revshift/Condor mounts all place the engine differently, so regardless of which non-solid option I switch to, I will need to shim/clearance things.
    I just installed the e46 mounts (upside down) with my N52, they move the engine back a few mm from the AKG location. I did cut off the locating nubs, they interfered with the engine arm. I also had to thin the engine arm a few mm and order thin lock nuts, couldn't get enough threads to feel comfortable.

    I haven't driven it yet but hoping they are a little less harsh.
