engine mounts for the m52 conversion question

[breakermart]

ok the said done thing is to use the m5 e28 rubber engine mounts when fitting a M52B28 engine into an E30 (with e36 arms). but.......
do the e36 m3 rubber engine mounts fit and could they be used instead?
if not then why?
cheers people

[breakermart]

[breakermart]

whats the diameter too big for by the way. does it fowl something?

[DanThe]

Yes they hit the bodywork

[breakermart]

oh got ya, was thinking of using them briefly just so I can get my lump fitted and later source some m5 mounts but if its a no go then il just have to wait. cheers pal

You can also use e34 m50 rubber mounts or E30 318IS ones.

I have a M50B25 sitting happily on E30 M20 mounts for the last seven years.

wouldn't my m52b28 rip those mounts off eventualy?
