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

akg makes e30m50 specific engine mounts...

for some reason the nub didnt work on my mounts so i ground them down and the mount worked fine

I put in some aftermarket hard mounts (that don't fit real well) and the holes didn't line up real well, so I removed the dowel pin that goes in the other hole....BIG MISTAKE. I think it will allow the engine to shift. At Watkins Glen last year, the tranny mounts had come out of the ears in the tranny which allowed to to miss a shift (the data indicated 9300 rpms). I have seen worked a way to fit the dowel pins back in.

And yes, the green e28 mounts rotated 180 degrees work without issue. If my car were a street car only, I would have left them in, but the DTM replica shifter I have doesn't like soft engine mounts).

this thread makes my head hurt... The engine bolts in using OE parts

jesus people. no cutting, grinding, welding is necessary when putting the engine in. you guys are making this WAY too complicated. stock parts work perfectly if you just get the right ones. the closest thing to fabrication you'll have to do is with the tranny crossmember (if you use a getrag 260), and even that can be figured out with stock parts!

Put the bottom stud of the mount in the outer holes that are meant for stopping the mount from spinning while tightening, and put the little nub on the hole meant for the stud, do it on both sides. It will line up.

Edit: Would have lined up.

+1 i can't believe this thread got all the way to 3 pages before someone mentioned that.

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

[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.

[Taper]

Yes, from a 528 I think

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

you're supposed to use e28 engine mounts

[rThor432]

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

[Taper]

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