m50 info please

[DanThe]

If you want quality buy a Sach's that will last for over 100k miles

What you should be thinking about is how you would feel if you fitted a poor quality clutch and had to have the box out a few months down the line.
Clutch on an M50'd E30 is not a nice job at all, even with a 2 post lift

Its not a nice job on an m20 on you back so i can only imagine the pain it will be on an m50 e30

[Baz666]

what are you planning to use an m20 clutch and flywheel or you planning on using an m50 clutch and flywheel?

which is best to use ?? if the m20 is good enough then i`l use what i ready have if not i`ll take what E30BeemerLad is offering.

Dan i worded that wrong i didnt mean for it to sound cheap fella just didnt want to spend mega bucks on one.

[DanThe]

If you have a flywheel/clutch you have been using then yeah use that depending on how much meat is left, but if your looking to buy a new one then spend a bit extra and get the best. You dont need to go mad and buy up-rated clutches but £120 for a Sachs is well worth the money considering how long it will last

[Baz666]

£120 thats not bad but which way do i go....m50 clutch or just buy a new m20 one which way would be better.

[Rav335uk]

You Idiot Baz.

[DanThe]

[E30BeemerLad]

M20 flywheel is better as not dual-mass rubbish, so I'd go for a new M20 clutch.

Rav - WTF?

[Jhonno]

Rav - WTF?

it's ok.. He just cannot accept the glaringly obvious, and wants others to make the same mistake he has

[Rav335uk]

Dan, that's not origional, Baldy (Dezzy)used it this morning

[DanThe]

I think its more to the fact that there wont be many M20's left for Rav to keep up with come pod time

[Baz666]

Rav i think you`v had the pi55 ripped out you dude by the m50/2 bunch i would leave it there fella

M20 flywheel is better as not dual-mass rubbish, so I'd go for a new M20 clutch.

my clutch is good so i`ll use that then save myself money there nice......thanks guy`s for you help

[Rav335uk]

Ba, I don't take what they say onboard mate, I take it all in jest, they all know they have plastic engines.
Give me a shout if you need a hand with the engine install, i'll come over for the day to help out.(Chuck the thing in the river for you)

[Baz666]

[Baz666]

right back on topic ladys with the engine mounts would i get away with using e39 mounts as they seem like the same size.

[town325i]

E36 alloy arms are the ones to use rubber mounts there are loads of different types people use and i dont really know which ones im going to use yet

[Baz666]

isn`t based on the hight of the mount to where the engine sit in the bay if you know what i mean

[town325i]

yeah something like that

[Baz666]

dude have you done your m50 conversion then or are you doing it now .

[town325i]

Im doing it now just changing a few bits on the engine before it goes in

[Baz666]

Town you got a tread on your conversion then so i can follow it as i`v said i have not got a clue with what i`m doing.

just got back from picking up the engine nice little ride out 140 mile round trip.

[town325i]

Not started one yet

[Baz666]

I just need to know now the exact mounts to order everyone just says ..... buy the e28 mounts but yeah which ones are they all the same or what.

[Rav335uk]

Shouldn't help you, against my M5hitty morals, but here read this, all the mounts are pictured

[Baz666]

Nice1 buddy you know you want to meeeeee

[Rav335uk]

Nice1 buddy you know you want to meeeeee

Oi, open forum

[DanThe]

Baz that thread rav posted is irrelevant to your conversion, you dont need to touch the engine arms, just fit rubber mounts.
E28 M535 mounts are about £60+ now
Ive used these in the link below on my track car and they are fine

[town325i]

What does $75 work out to in English pounds thats how much they are going to cost for those mounts

EDIT

According to paypal these mounts will cost £51 posted

[DanThe]

Its £49.36

£28 odd for postage is expensive, ive had similar weight stuff posted over here for $10

Dezzy bought them with some other stuff, £11 each before postage

[ross_jsy]

My AKG mounts arrived today. Really beefy nice looking kit.

[town325i]

How many people would be up for a set of these engine mounts if there is alot of interest we could try and sort something out with the company

[bimanut]

I`d be intrigued in knowing what sort of price they`d offer

[Baz666]

yeah i`m up for that but think he only has 4 left in stock.

anyway got myself a free beee today 318is gearbox from jai very nice man, very very nice man

[ross_jsy]

Are you talking about the AKG mounts? I did ask them

Would have to dig out the email, but think its 10% off if you can get 10 orders together.

[DanThe]

No, these
