Want to do an M30 swap

[Funkmasta]

Haha thanks man. No, I had the fuel lines backwards :P

By the way, just for reference, an E30 M3 drive shaft is about an inch too short in my position, what means my distributer cover is pretty much up against my radiator. And also the E28 shift linkage sits right in the middle of the hole in the tunnel.

I'm surprised you were able to get it to fire even a little bit with the lines backwards... last time I backwardsed the lines on an M20, no worky at all

its aliiiiiiiiiiive lol...

These are the type II e30.de mounts. I got them because I figured if they don't fit my gen 2 M30, or can't be modded to fit, I can at least sell/trade them for the mounts I need.
Any experiences? Words of advice? What rubber mounts do I use to attach to the subframe?

[JoeMadoo]

I used M20 rubber mounts. I want to get polys though... Nice mounts btw, they look similar to mine :)

Has anyone told you your car sounds like secks? Big, manly, hairy sex, that is. None of that wussy romantic "making love" crap, either.

[JoeMadoo]

HAHAHAHAH!!!! I'm quoting that... Thanks man!

[whiltebeitel]

You're welcome.

Holy shit, you wanna trade? I have mounts for Gen 2 M30 (E28/E24 etc) and need Gen 3 M30 mounts (E32/E34 etc).

really....
pics would help.

FYI.

The bolt patterns are the same , the reason for diffrent M30 motor mounts are
the later M30 exhaust manifolds. if you use earlier manifolds you can use (I´m assuming) both variations.

Assumptions made because a friend installed a S38 from a E34 into his E23 and used the E23 mounts on the S38 engine,.
And they for E30´s use the later style M30 motor mounts.

Thank you. You mean the rubber mounts? (I always think they look like green peppers...)

[euroshark]

Seriously you guys, stop being so happy about your damn silly gay 335is...




You are making me want to build another one.

[Mike325]

Told you not to sell it. But nooooo;)

[FredK]

Assumptions? Those aren't good enough around these parts. Mounts designed for E28 M30's don't even bolt up to E34 M30's. That's no assumption.
