I installed my new header and found out that the pass side mount is torn completly apart. I would like to install solid rubber mounts but I dont have a cross refrence to another model that I can use. Is it possible to use M20 solid rubber mounts? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe e28 535i mounts are what you need.

How's the header?

header works fine but I think I need a larger throttle body now. the car pulls nicely and sounds alittle louder.

e28 mounts are definitely a cheaper route. Expect some added in cabin noise and vibration.

Yeah, the E28 535i ones are it. I have used them in both cars. Throttle response benefits greatly. A bit more noise & vibration, but it is well worth it. You just have to grind off the alignment tabs.

Apparently the engine mounts from M30-powered E28 535i will fit with minor modifications. Part number is 11811132793 and you may also need some 2mm washers with a 10mm internal diameter. The E28 mounts need to be modified by cutting off the alignment tab.

I went to IE on a sat and picked up a pair of poly eurathane mounts for $80. Engine still isnt in the car yet so i cant tell you what they feel like.

Does the thread need to be modified? How do they compare to stock?

When I last bought my M30 mounts they were $33 per side. Got them from http://www.pelicanparts.com . BMA is cool & alll, but I much prefer Pelican. Fast shipping, complete online catalog (you can punch in any PN and itll get you a price).
