Hello!
Im looking for engine mounts and engine bushings to a E30 / S38B38 build. I want the enginemounts to mount to the original m20 engine beam.
I have seen that www.300mm.de has engine mounts for that kind of build, but they dont answer my mails..
I feel its a bit unreliaible to order something from a company that doesnt answer mails.
So is there any other company that has engine mounts?


Best regards Fredrik Mehlin

I've done quite a lot of bisnes Tino (300mm.de host), usually he answers emails quite quickly but try sending mails to his other addresses (tino@e30.de , tino@335.de).
Those mounts are very good, but maybe a little bit pricey.

I think the price is right! No problem with the price. I want them fast!
And i want to place an order right away!

I have sent an email to both tino@e30.de and 300mm@gmx.de no answer. This isnt the first time he has "ignored" my emails.

If someone knows and maybe can call him? It would help me alot!

It isnt such good advertisment if i cant get intouch with him and i post threads about this. And im sorry about that! But i really need some engine mounts!

These are not the sort of thing you can pick up anywhere. Can you not fabricate some yourself?

Have you posted on to his forums, at least he seems to be quite active on www.e30.de / 340i / V8 forums.

It's a pity than when you've customer you don't answer his emails. :(

Hey, just came in to my mind that have you checked www.pure-pf.com ? There're lots of E30 S38 turbos out there so should be some mounts for sale also.
They would be in Sweden so no problems with paying / shipping..

The company PPF in sweden only has engine mounts for the 3.6L S38.

B36 and B38 mounts are the same, so they should be fine. Engine mounts for the M30B35 will also work, I think.

Dunno about S38 differences but M30 mounts won't work with S38.

Why so? BMW use the same engine mounts for an e34 535i as they do for an e34 M5 (3.6 or 3.8).

no i dont think so. S38B38 had a separate casting other bolt holes in the engine block.

Yes but the exhaust manifold is different and it won't clear E30 M30 mount. Or that's the main problem if i've understood correctly.
Never tried bolting those m30 mounts on s38, though.
