Hello,

This weekend I will be swapping an M50B25 in my '84 E30. I already got all the parts like the Clio brake booster, E36 arms, E28 M5 engine mounts, etc! Yes I've done my homework :D

But still two questions remain!

1. How do I position these mounts in the subframe ?

http://store.garagistic.com/ocart/image ... 00x500.jpg In this example picture, you'll see that there are 2 holes in the subframe , a round one and a more sleeved one, how do I mount these rubbers?

I think: there are two 'shafts with thread' (or how do you say this in english?) sticking out of the rubbers, a longer one and a shorter one.

the shorter one must be screwed in the sleeved hole I think? so the hole on the outer side. But what about the round hole in the subframe towards the inside? Just ignore it or what? lol.

Oh yeah, if someone maybe can help me with this one too?
I have the M50B25 with Getrag gearbox from E36, wich propshaft do I need ? icw Big case e30 diff btw

Ow, I don't have this lug on my engine mounts!? It's not a OEM BMW part. Is it a big problem? I guess not, right???? So the shorter shaft in the round hole? and then the larger shaft in the engine arms. these pointing towards the fenders. am I right?
