    The 4-lug spacers are for regular E30s (not M3s).


    This place also has stiffer motor mounts:

    The rest of the spacers are listed as e36 products.

    "These spacers are CNC machined from 6082 billet Aluminum and have the correct 72.5mm BMW hubs for a perfect hub-centric fit on E30 (5-lug), E36, E46, and E90 3 series BMWs. Sold as a pair. "

    No need to import anything as you have the best motormounts in Slovakia already, Ice Hockey pucks!

    I am running this for the whole last year and they have served me well so far.
    A large Stainless disk on the bottom, one on top. Total height 74mm, with an M10 high tensile bolt and double nutted.

    Bu tdon't tighten the bolt to much, the vibrations are unreal......

    Many people from Germany use 740iL motor mounts for S14. It is harder than S14 polyuretan motor mounts. It big difference between 740il motor mounts and standard S14 motor mounts? Thanks Paul

    I've been using them in my car for about 5 yrs. I'm about to replace them because the left side mount sheared. I have a LOT of track time on these and couple of impacts which I think probably caused it to shear. I have been very happy with them though and have already bought replacements.

    Hi "robertm",
    thanks for your opinion. When you change the standard S14 motor mounts for 740iL - do you feel the contrast - harder? Thanks for you answer.Paul

    The original mounts were shot, so kind of hard to tell. But yes the 740i mounts are much firmer. Makes sense if ya think about it. They are designed to hold an engine twice as heavy as ours. I know from revving the motor that the engine moves far less back and forth when you watch it in the engine bay than any stock mounted engine i've seen. I paired the motor mounts with 85 535i tranny mounts, and the combination has worked great (up until I sheared the motor mount which then caused the tranny mount to shear). For under $150 you can have all new tranny/motor mounts that match up well and are WAY stiffer than stock. I'd recommend changing them every 3-4 years if the car sees a ton of track time.

    Please do not make a new thread to ask another question with the same topic. Your earlier thread from a few days ago was sufficient to ask another question.

    Cheers,
