Hi there, I mounted the engine in the car today and found that the e30 mounts were to small and the engine was hitting on the subframe but only by a tiny bit. What other options do I have?

I've 300mm.de engine arms with E34 V8 rubbers. That combination doesn't clear the steering rack & support (LHS has to be modified slightly) so you need to put e.g. 3-5mm spacers in there.

There's plenty of room in the "bolts" for spacers so no worries, only problem is the engine coming "too high" (touching the bonnet) at some stage..
