What kind of engine mounts come standard on the e30? And if they are solid rubber, what is the advantage of putting fluid-filled ones instead? I'm looking to isolate the engine vibes from the passenger compartment if possible, cuz the car breakdances at idle practically, which to say the least is not really comfy.

Never heard of any fluid filled engine mounts for the E30. The OEM ones are vulcanized rubber.
Sounds like you just need to replace the mounts with new OEM ones. -

Am I crazy, or didn't the M42 cars have fluid filled mounts?
Maybe it's the V8 powered cars.

M42 and V8's are definately fluid filled.
The V8's have a BAD habit of popping them when driven like a man.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

Get the IE ones. No extra NVH into the cabin. Good peace of mind.
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.

speaking of fluid filled mounts, what about filling one with urathane?Comment

6cyl mounts are solid rubber lumps.
M42 cars and S14 cars have the fluid mounts.
Put fresh stock mounts in it. If it really makes that much NVH at idle you may have other problems.Adam Fogg- '88 M3

If you call a 304 degree Schrick cam a problem, then you're right.Originally posted by AdamF 88iSThis is your M20 on steroids:Comment

Never mind about these... I've already been told by Luke that mounts of this sort would probably buckle real fast with an engine like mine, and I think he's right.This is your M20 on steroids:Comment

What kind of fluid fills these things? Is it an oil or something?Comment

If it's a DD stick with rubber mounts.. if not I would go with urethane mountsComment

Some sort of oil based fluid, almost like a really light grease.Originally posted by NitroRustlerDriverAdam Fogg- '88 M3
