Yeah. You need the mount arms that came on the engine originally.

eek. What mounts?

[warioware]

This doesn't look right. The motor isn't sitting properly in the engine bay.

yea i just found out he used the m20 motor mount arms instead of the m3 hopefully that'll fix it

Nice vert! :up:
Didn't know there were e30 lover in the RGV. :D
But on the plus side you should be able to get the upholstery done for cheap across he border.

Do yourself a favor and DON'T try and use the e36's suspension. Also if thats the mileage on the window throw a headgasket on that s50.

Thanks :mrgreen: i've been to dallas a couple of times! and i will be replacing most of the gaskets and the metals that wear out were the crankshaft is at. Also i would go to Mexico except its kind of dangerous to go over there :sad:

Good luck with the project! The E30 looks amazing. Too bad about the TV though, frame damage sucks.

Nice.

Though I agree that that M3 could have been fixed.

But E30's are far more important

I WOULD HAVE FIXED THAT E36...

if u stick with the e30 for DD, perfect time for 5-lug conversion too. use the vaders. lighted switches yada yada yada.

i would have still stuck with the e36

the problem is it has frame damage as well as some undercarriage damage in the rear and the interior is somewhat messed up (front seats need to be reupholstered). I was thinking of putting the vaders on the e30 but they are charging me 1,600 to reupholster the vaders and the rear seat which is kind of pricy for me lol
