Download a google toolbar for your computer and install the language translator option.

Use babel fish.. type translator inot google.

The e30.de mounts are reputable. 6mm steel and fairly beefy.

Sunny, not sure if there is any difference but i got my mounts from spooxmotorsports.
Pretty sure they are in Leicester.

Tino off E30.de speaks english, just email him and tell him what you want, his email address is on there.

Mine and my mates set arrived today, took about 10 days, paid by PayPal, couldnt be easier.

Nope. 'fraid not.

You'll need an M30 E32 / E34 manual gearbox (usually very cheap at a breakers or on Ebay) and clutch (preferably E28 535i / M535i with single mass flywheel)! E34 clutch and dual mass flywheel will do but is much heavier.

Don't forget if the engine came from an automatic car to fit a spigot bearing in the crankshaft - only a few quid from dealer / GSF / ECP.

New M20 engine mounting rubbers are cheap and a good idea at this stage.

thanks wil get on the ebay now
im looking to find a full 735 or 535 car to stip for the bits i need then just scrap the rest even tho i will still have to buy the box because they allllll seem to be autos

[DRIFTBOY]

Easiest donor to find is usually E34 535i manual. They go for little money, just make sure as best you can that the engine is good unless you plan to rebuild it anyway. Worth being patient for a good, cheap donor.
