darrencnz 10 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 Doing the M52B28 conversion and everyone and everywhere talks about using the 535i M5 E28 engine mounts. Cant find any here in NZ and local mount shop wasnt very helpful. Anyone know where i can get these in NZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1258 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 e28 535i e24 635csi mounts will do, have used ones std sort of part looks like a e30 m20 mount but taller. have also used solid e34 m50 mounts as well , have some of those new if needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrencnz 10 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Hey Brent Im only going on what i have been reading online with all the conversions etc, so i am in no way an expert as i havent done this conversion before. I went to mountshop with and when i asked for them, they said they didnt have any and then showed me something that looked completely different and told me this is the one im asking for. I just didnt wanna buy until i was certain that what i was buying was going to work. I've uploaded a pic of the item that i was told to use ( 535i M5 E28 ) but if you have done this before, can you tell me is there any height differences to the 2 types you have used? i want something pretty strong and stiff and i really dont care what its from. It's just something i want to get right from the start. Edited July 3, 2014 by darrencnz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrencnz 10 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 Would you be able to take some measurements/pics of what you have so i can take a look? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 brent is correct. e28 ones work just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrencnz 10 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 So standard E28 mounts are just round cylinder type and the M5 are like the green one in the picture above? But essentially there is no difference as to which one you use, Is that right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
