Are those correct and a decent price?

Thanks!

How much did you pay?

[mattdk318i]

like 15 a piece. I know i might get flamed for this, But i just bought the 535i ones. Which DID work fine. and continue to work fine with my S52.
They were green as well, And i think it was free shipping at the time.

It looks like on pelican the m5 mounts are like 100 bucks.

[87e30]

So you got left AND right 535i e28 mounts?

[mattdk318i]

yup, with E36 arms. No alignment issues here.

Awesome. I shall do the same. Sorry for all the redundant questions I just like to be sure before I order something I'm nervous about spending all the money on the swap and finding out I fucked something up.

[mattdk318i]

yea, i ordered M5 mounts for my M50 to the tune of 140 bucks. ended up gambling on the S52 swap(was poor) so i went with the Green 535 mounts they had. They ended up working great. And pelican is awesome to deal with.

[87e30]

Well I'm poor so I'm glad you could help save me some money. Awesome! But I'm not cool poor so I just have an m52 not s52 swap here.

which way do the mounts go onto the subframe again? does the locating nub go into the hole or the slot?

That is a great question. I was hoping to just figure it out by trail and error when I was in there. If you search google for e28 m5 motor mounts I believe a thread on r3v with pictures will pop right up as the first result.

i got my green e28 m5 mounts from the dealer. when the showed up they were black, and i said wtf? i know the sevice writers and parts guys; they told me for some reason the color has been changed and they are in deed the new part number for the green mounts.
