Hello,
I'am swapping my M40b16 for a M50b20 from a E34. At the moment I have the entire list completed:
- E28 M5/535i rubber engine mounts
- Radiator from E36
- Differential 3,64
- Exhaust cat. E36
- Engine mounts E36
- ....
But now I need the right transmission mount rubbers. I'm using the E34 M50 gearbox, but which rubbers do I need? I've heard that the E21 320(i) are the best. But which mounts do I need exactly? What are the correct nummers so I can order them at the BMW dealer.
With kind regards from the Netherlands

Thanks for your answer. But in Holland we have some restrictions for the sound (dB). So I need a mid-demper or a cat.e30-dk wrote:ive used an e36 328 rad, works great with no botherRadiator from E36![]()
