Hey guys. Building a track-prepped E30 with an M50/Getrag 5-speed swap. I'm at ordering engine/tranny mounts and have a question: Are the E36 mounts usable in the E30 chassis (engine/tranny)?? I'm looking at these from TMS: Turner Motorsport - Item# TDR9980001 - E46/E36/Z3 Solid Motor and Transmission Mount Kit - E36 E46

Do you guys have any other suggestions?

Are you using the E36 subframe or something custom?

No, all is the E30's...

You'll want an E36 subframe, it'll bolt right up to the chassis. Differnt steering rack, but you should be using all E36 front suspension anyways. Youl'll need a different brake booster to make this work also. I believe it comes out of an E21... I'd ask around first though!
