Want to do an M30 swap

[Mike325]

Looking into Mass fabrication since last week... found a metalworking shop that has the tooling and ability, so... hopefully soon eh? :)

I love you Joe:D

I love you Joe:D

Keep your hands where I can see them LOL

I'm pretty certain its the AFM too. I used the M30 harness because i had an eta. Does anyone think its the computer?

How about now?

Now?

j/k. keep us in the loop, por favor.

waiting anxiously here too for mounts

[ldsbeaker]

Wow, that's like almost a handful of people that need mounts.
Easy $1000, Joe....

Tell me about it - I'm tempted to get a set just as a spair. Talk about a hard part to get your hands on.

I wonder how many pages this will become!!!

[Funkmasta]

Should I make the E28/E23/E24 mounts or the E32/E34 mounts first?
I am tempted to make the E32/E34 mounts, since it is a better motor for the swap.

[ldsbeaker]

I want E28.

(Hell, if the price is right, I might just get two sets)

[george graves]

What mounts will work with the euro "L block"?

[Funkmasta]

I would assume the E28 mounts... ?

[ldsbeaker]

So, let's just say that I found a set of Type 2 e30.de mounts. (pinky in corner of mouth)

I have a Gen 2 engine ('86 535i). Is the only problem going to be routing the exhaust around the mounts?

[Mike325]

^YES!!!! You the man Joe. I mean JoeMadoo. So what was the problem with the car? Bad AFM like you thought?

[JoeMadoo]

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.
