neat, but i dont think it would be applicable with BMW engine mounts. maybe CAB's or something..maybe a diff mount bushing.

Thanks to m-technik-3, it was a cinch. Would also recommend the engine bridge thing a ma bopper.

OK, so you're gonna use an engine brace like this:



What's the best/safest way to lift the engine on an E30 325i?

Lift at the each engine support bracket on either side? And if so, what's the recommended way to connect to these?



OR lift at the front engine lifting bracket?

thanks for the help <3 I knew I could count on r3v!

$30 drive up ramps from pretty much any auto store should give you all the room underneath you need, or, grab your jack and jackstands
Now that I think about it, I've had 2 new engine mounts sitting in my trunk for the past 8 months. I should get around to putting those in.

Unbolt mounts, jack up oil pan (with a board so it doesn't fail), put in new mounts, lower jack, tighten mount bolts.

I don't have that much room to lift the motor. See original post.

There motor is very tall and crushes the wire box just above the engine if I try to lift up the motor.

sorry to thread jack, but I was wondering how to go about lifting my engine up a little, my oilpan is a little close to the ground as of right now.

put a plank of wood under the area where the block and trans mate, then jack up from there and put jack stands under the trans case
