I searched and found nothing conclusive. What trans cross member do I need for my S50/ZF swap? I can't find the stock one from my 91 318is, but I'm not sure it would have worked anyways. Exactly what part number do I need? The stock 325 is tilted anyways?

The 318is trans brace and the 325i/s trans brace are the same. The regular E30 trans brace works with both ZF and the Getrag 250 (E36 325i).

Is there anything that needs to be done to copensate for the tilted mount? Just shim it?Comment

you don't need to do anything if you're using the ZF. use the e36 or e30 mounts, they both work.No more e30s for me.

e21 mounts are a little more beefy if you want rubber ones.-ChrisComment

I used the ZF trans with the e30 325i bracket, but the trans won't sit down nicely with 2 e30 trans mounts. One mount needs to be taller than the other. I used one 320i green mount, and one stock e30 mount.
Fits ok.
No issues.

Thanks, I ordered a new cross member and hopefully my UUC race mounts off my old car will work somehow. It sounds like one will fit at least.Comment
