Looks awesome :up:
When i go back to Indiana next summer i plan on doing something like what you've got, maybe not so much power tho cuz it would still be a DD.

Very Nice I want A Copy of your Engine mounts. I'm starting to gather parts for my m30 swap and will be going to the junkyard this week sometime to grab more parts.

i may also be interested in the motor mounts

[rs4pro3]

Any one else interested in mounts, He said there for the older stlye M30 if you interested I'm going to gather emails as the more interested the cheaper they'll be.

:?: why don't you surf the premade units on www.e30.de and look at their 335i in english stuff?

[rs4pro3]

$250 is why.

[M-technik-3]

And you know the welds and bends are going to pass TUV :!: Nothing against bmw335ist but I know these welds are upto the demanding standards of the German gov't.

[rs4pro3]

Ya but I think $250 is to much to pay for Engine mounts considering I am going to pay $300ish for the m30 engine, tranny and all other parts at the junkyard.

Oh What driveshaft did you use? And about how much did you shorten it?

[bmw335ist]

Just to calm every one’s tempers the mounts that are in my car have been made by a machinist in his spare time he also makes parts for Boeing and freight liner as a sub contractor. here is a pic I pressure washed the primer off.


The The motor mounts from Germany unless you plan on putting the turbo on top of the motor witch I am not, the passenger side motor mount will hit the turbo, so I am making a different motor mount that later down the road if you just want to buy a turbo kit, you can bolt on the TCD kit. (Turbo charging dynamics)
their air/water cooler sits on top of the valve cover on spacers.

My car? I used a M3 drive shaft.

[rs4pro3]

I ment for BMW 335IST.

[bmw335ist]

Damn it and I left the pic in Portland. I have about 50 pictures of my motor being striped down and rebuilt. and the car with no trim or bumpers and a clean ass engine compartment. I just picked up my drive line from the shop completely rebuilt and balanced from drive line specialties in Portland they had to weld A 5 series flange on the motor side of the drive line and shorten it. I do not have the measurements in front of me but will post them latter.

[rs4pro3]

Ok so you have the m30 flange welded to an E30 shaft. I was probally just going to go with an E28 M30 driveshaft and have it shortened.
