    Ok that makes sense, but well either way is it any e36 mount or a specific one?

        Why don't you just add washers to your stock motor mounts to raise it up?

          Maybe I didn't see it, but what E36 mounts specifically do you need for this to work right, and how much clearance is actually gained?

            Sorry fellas, as long as you get the mounts that are completely solid out of the OBD1 m3, you should be fine. New mounts are expensive, but I've used "used ones" in the past and they work just fine. I will post a specific part# so you guy's can check out pricing. Although used ones have worked just fine for my cheap ass. Do not buy the ones that have a groove cut around the top bolt! You may have to mount them upside down because the bottom of the mount may hit the frame rail. Another thing make sure you use a 87 and older throttle body, if not it will crash into your hood. After doing this my car never broke an oil pan but I did this because I don't have the money to spend on a skid plate.

              Here is a picture of how they should look, these were also offered in the 318, e30 m3, e36 m3, and in some e34 535. http://www.fcpgroton.com/images/prod...1811137076.JPG

                    you aren't going to gain enough room to make it worth the effort, the TB is already very close to the hood. Plus you are raising the heaviest possible part, pretty much the opposite of what you want to do with center of gravity. Go with the skidplate, it will protect the pan and rack.

                      I am also sure you could ask this man (silence) very nicely to make you his custom solid motor mounts a tad taller for you and no they do not shake the whole car you waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless. :p
