Hi,

I am aware that its recommended to use the e28 M5 engine mounts. But when I was under my e30 I noticed that its using two different engine mounts. I cant check it again for a few months but I as hoping someone here might know what they are because I want to order replacements. I think the left side is an m5 mount but dont know what the right side is.

Thanks

Would same mounts as recommended for M5x swaps work? As in e28 M5 mounts or the 535i motor mounts work? They aren't as expensive.

They would yes but the S50 is a heavy engine and will soon make those mounts sloppy.
AKG is the proper way to do it, i have a set available £200 posted which is less than cost by the time you pay shipping and customs/handling charge
