Great success ...

Verified last week, if you use a getrag 260 on your M30, you can use a factory E30 driveshaft when using our mounts.

Pretty stoked, first time we were actually able to try it out.

thats very cool. making the m30 swap even simpler. i want another e30 just so i can do an m30 swap.

Was it a B34 or B35, or does it not matter?

Thanks for the info Joe, it's nice to see you back here again.

[Funkmasta]

It was a b35 motor, but it doesnt matter... The blocks are mounted in the same spot on both of our mounts.

Very good news, thanks!!

I thought you couldn't use a 260 b/c of the bellhousing or something? Or am I just crazy?

Thats what i thought also, i heard it wouldn't bolt up?

[Funkmasta]

The 260 came in 2 different configurations, one for the M20 and one for the M30 :)

When you say factory E30 driveshaft, is it the 325i or 325e driveshaft? They are different at the front, right?

When are you expecting to get some b35 mounts in? PMed you a while back got a reply but no follow up.

Great news.

[Funkmasta]

I have a couple sets of b35 mounts left, though one set is currently on my car... They won't work on my M106 :mrgreen:

[makaveli2k]

You gots teh PM!

Where the hell did you find an M106! I'll let you do dirty things to me if I can have it!!

They ARE different, but I believe the flanges of the two different 260 transmission are also swappable...

This particular 325e had the large flange driveline...

[CorvallisBMW]

what in the heck is an m106?
