+1 I'm looking for the same, from what I've heard in the past there are a few different engine mounts to be used. I think e34 m5 was one that was mentioned, are there any others that are easier to get hold of i.e not off a m5?

E30 or E36 gearbox rubber mounts with the E30 crossmember.

There are aftermarket engine mounts available (there's some Revshift ones advertised on here in the group buy section), but E28 M5 mounts are the OEM available mounts. You will need the E36 alloy engine arms.

Thanks nice one, I have everything removed and will bd starting the conversion in 1 week.

Id hopes to have it done by now, but work commitments have got in the way. Now the suns started to come out I thought I better get my arse in gear, as still have arch and sill repairs to do to, plus a mot test.
