    Default M3 engine mounts upgrade for 325i?

    The engine mounts on the 325is seem weak compaired to the M3 ones.

    It looks like the M3 ones can be installed on the 325i/328i.

    Can someone confirm?

    Planning on installing the M3 engine mounts, the 320i transmission mounts, the x brace, M3 control arms, delrin control arm bushing... and racing suspension if I can find the one I want.


    I also have to remove everything that is not usefull in the engine bay... AC and all.

    My complete M3 suspension with H&R springs and sway bars will be for sale at some point next year..

    We replaced the motor mounts in my car with stock bmw ones. I don't remember if there was a significant difference for m3 and 325. The motors are basically identical so I don't know why there would be a difference. There are however a few aftermarket companies that make race mounts since that seems like what you're interested in.
    When I did all my work, we swapped in brand new '95 m3 control arms with the offset bushings, stock tranny mounts and the xbrace is going in next week. I really like the mounts that I have in my car. I also have the Rogue Octane ssk, and it makes for a very tight and short shift.
    My car however is not a dedicated track car, so its fine for me and my daily driving.
