you need to use the e36 m52/m52 alloy arms and i used the standard e34 rubber mounts, but some have used the e28 m5 rubber mounts.. :D

Rubber mounts can come from a few cars, E34 M50 engines are the 'basic' type, two cylinder type mounts. I used some from a 635CSi, square type, the E28 M5 uses one of each. Both types are the same height which is the important part
