anyone still make poly motor mounts for M10?

[irish44j]

I don't see them listed at IE anymore. Anyone know of other options?

Don't want solid, just poly or an improved-over-stock rubber.

this is an e30 forum, right? ;)

I have regular mounts in mine, but I have heard of people doing glassing? i forget what it's called exactly but it's supposed to make the mount a lot stiffer simply by throwing a resin all over the mount and letting it solidify.

you could always mill some aluminum... ;)

True, but I've seen some crazy things on here, completely unrelated to E30's.

Interesting....actually could fill it with urethane as well, guy used to do that with Maxima shift bushings back in the day.

aluminum...no thanks. I don't want to vibrate everywhere I go!

lol.....why would anyone put an M10 in anything else (other than a 2002)? ;)

bump, anyone else?

I have absolutely NO IDEA, but maybe you should ask some of the guys of Chevron, Elva, or even Gordon Murray back when he put together the Brabham BMW BT55 F1 cars?

clearly my sarcasm didn't come through there.....well aware of the history of M10s in racing, but since I'm asking a basic motor mount question I think it's a fair bet that I'm talking about stock-ish street M10s here, lol.

Wish you had linked me to three places that sell M10 (for a 318i) motor mounts instead ;)

Howbout Volvo 260 mounts? They're rubber, but they're a LOT more stout than the
M10 mounts. And cheap, too...

...I'm drawing a blank- how is the M10 mount different from the M20? I am remembering
round cylinders in both cases...

pretty sure 02 mounts don't work in e30s

[u3b3rg33k]

Utter genius. If they make race M10s, do you think they just might still make parts for newer bmws?

318i m10 mount is not round. They like to break.
