What engine brackets with euro M3 e30 and euro s50 engine?

[erik325i]

if there was an alternative that made the flat part of the motor arm and the mounting point on the subrframe be parallel I'd be a lot happier as that would mean I could use some off the shelf aluminum mounts (that I have sitting around gathering dust).

I ended up fabricating my own aluminum motor mounts. It definitely would have been nice if they were parallel.

Finally I deceided to hand build my own engine arm

This is the mold for the future left arm






Tomorrow I try to finish it

i dont understand why you are doing this... it should just bolt up if you have the correct parts

[Taper]

Ugly, but works perfectly

[dpgrand]

[Taper]

With stock S50 arms is impossible to install the engine, in my car, I don't know if it works in other swaps.

Whit this custom arm I bolt the rubber motor mounts in the correct holes, that S14 engine uses

[rThor432]

The motor shown here is not the right one. Did you use the correct (hex shaped) mounts?

you're supposed to use e28 engine mounts

[Taper]

Yes, from a 528 I think

[rThor432]

I think the E28 528e mount is incorrect. You need two left side (hex shaped) E28 535i or M5 mounts. The M5 mounts are a CM or two taller. These will work on any E30 with the E36 arms.

the e28 535i mounts work fine, they are the tall cylinder type
