24v swap engine mounts

[static]

I wish their was a better solution?

have you tried the e34 m5 mounts? (black cylindrical) that's what i run and no tears in almost 2 years (autox, track...)

[Bennetts22@aol.com]

personally i think these mounts are junk. i had 3k on my S52. (given they were a hard 3k). But the mounts are torn and peeled from the metal. my friend has a stock s14 and his mounts failed in 2k? I wish their was a better solution?

I really cant see these ever needing replacement with any NA M/S50 motor. They are really really big mounts I was suprised and worried if they would fit or not, but no worries. + i have billet aluminum tranny mounts on a super beefy tranny brace i welded up and its not goign anywhere either. somehow the car stilll doesn't vibrate to bad. I couldn't be happier with them but then again I daily drive the car on Jstocks and Jstock evo billys so i am biased when is comes to stiff and comfort


now when I finish the other motor i have on the stand... ehh motor mounts won't be the only thing breaking

yeah I am running the IE urethane mounts w/ my 24v swap and it is MUCH smoother than the m42 w/ the stock mounts.

I'm kinda hesitant to get them, I feel much more comfortable getting the E28 535i mounts because they aren't as stiff as the urethane mounts.

Shit I need a ride in a 24V E30.

yes i have driven a 24v car, and yes i did own an m42 car, and the m42 car with the hydraulic mounts was still more buzzy than the 24v car.

Thank you sir!

Appreciate it, I can now cross of one thing on my list, that will no longer bother while I sleep :)

[golde30]

you think? have you driven in a 24V car?

I just don't want to regret buying these mounts again, you know what I mean?

m42 is a buzzy lil 4 banger, m50 will be nice and smooth with the e28 mounts.

I don't know anyone using M42 mounts for a 24V swap.

Haha, well then, thats what I'm asking!

I haven't seen anyone post anything but the bloody E28 535i or E34 M5 engine mounts..

I'm curious to know if anyone actually used a hydraulic mount.

You could try and use the 740i hydraulic mounts they are significantly less.

I think that you're not understanding my dilemma here.

I want to know if I can keep my M42 engine mounts rather than getting the stiffer E28 535i mounts again.

I don't care about the COST of the mount, I care about the comfort.

Ordered E28 M5 units for my swap.

Just think about it this way M3 Hydraulic units are more expensive.

Dude, I have no problem spending the money for the hydraulic units...I want comfort not fucking vibrations like my m42 used to have with 535i mounts.

Ok so this is what has been bothering me...

I recently purchased brand new hydraulic mounts for my m42 motor... in case anyone doesn't know, these fucking things are $90 a pop. I bought them because I DID NOT like the stiffness of the E28 535i mounts.

That being said, will I experience the same stiffness with the M50 motor...

OR

Is it possible for me to keep these awesomely expensive M42 engine mounts?
