Ya the IE e30 mounts will work.

[JoeMadoo]

I'm going to buy poly mounts from bmw2002.com

[george graves]

George, when are you going to move up north so we can have ANOTHER M30E30 in the PNW? lol ;)

I'm working on it, just have to wrap up some commitments.

You can find the G265 from a large array of BMW's including the E30 M3, many e28 535's and many e24 635's

I used the 88 Supereta DS with no mods. Some say you can use the '87 325e driveshaft bc it has the BIGGER GUIBO. that's all that matters. The BIGGER GUIBO. you can also find it from many E30's. If you can find one from a supereta, you're in luck

What I was trying to get at, is that I have the engine, I have the G265, I have the arms, I just have to get the Poly mounts (where did you guys get yours?) a driveshaft, and I should be set!

Add up all the percentages andit turns out that you have a .0000915% chance of breaking the brackets.

When you put it that way I like my chances

As far as DS's go I know my 86 has the larger guibo as well so there is another option i geuss for DS's

Darin, I can get you a close ratio 265 for cheap... I dont know how long it will last though, there was a metal chunk that came out in the oil. it was a running driving car though, shifted perfectly and no noise.

My guess is if you flush it, it should be good to go... at least for a while. I can get it to you for barely over core price.

Hahahaha, you can always scrap the auto tranny. Get a manual tranny and be done with it.
