E28 engines

[leeparkes]

Does anyone know the difference between these and E34 engines, its mainly where the mounts bolt up that i need to know.
Iirc the inlet side mount is the same as E34 (could be wrong)

TIA

Nope, didfferent M30 mounts altogether Lee.
Check out E30.de, you can see on there the difference in the mounting points.

Why didnt i think of E30.de

This is pics of an E23 engine (as far as i know same as E28)






Now, inlet side looks the same as E34?



And if you look at the exhaust side the mount is in the holes in the middle but it looks like there's holes further forward where my mounts fit.



Here's E34




What you reckon?

[Rav335uk]

I'm sure there different, as E30.de claim different mounts

But there looks to be more mounting places on the old M30 block, why you asking???

[leeparkes]

Few folk have asked if i do mounts for them so im looking into it.

[leeparkes]

Im sure John (johnl320) is using an E28 engine but cant find his thread.

[e30topless]

E28 mounts bolt on further back than the E34 and E32

[Rav335uk]

Found this, but can't see John's bulid thread either.

e28 engines and e34 engine use different engine mount locations on the block, and a water outlet at the back is about an 1" deep and easly blocked off.

My mounts bolt in the middle of the block on the inlet side (when in an E34 the mount is further forward and sits under the oil filter)

Couple o pics

Standard E34 mount




E30 mount.



Standard E28 mount






Exhaust side E30 mount, (E34 block)





Standard E34 mounting points (different to E30)




Standard E28 mounting holes, best pic i could find although seems to be quite a few mounting holes to choose from.



Im guessing if the holes are there in the E28 block my E30 mounts will fit?

Im sure these older donks have more power too. 220hp i think.

My head hurts

[leeparkes]

will an E28 block fit into an E34? looks like the mounting holes are there.
