    Post Where can I get e39 motor mount for bottom mounted turbo

    Hey I searched and came up with nothing as everything I've seen is for the e46 and e36.
    Where can I get a motor mount for my e39 bottom mount??

    Thanks in advance

    I like this guy.
    I'm so sleepy I clicked on it.


    OP, you'll search THIS site for the guys who've boosted their E39's (inline six presumably)
    and view what they used for mount/damper and bracket.

    If inline, the mount bosses on the block are very likely the same as all M5X/S5X based engines.

    If there are no TURBO kits for E39, then there will be no "bottom turbo MOUNTS" for E39.

    should be. according to the great magic data machine in the cloud, the actual E39 mount brackets (since we're really talking the bracket or 'support' as BMW calls it and not the mount itself) don't cross-over to anything else, but yes the raw blocks all cross over to E36 aka the platform all the kits are made for.

    yep - not non-existent, but there are a precious few of them. shame too as the world should have more big powah boosted E39's rolling around.

    to not just be a snarky dick...

    my actual thoughts on the matter would be get an E39 I6 motor bracket side by side with an E36 turbo-version, and figure out what you'd need to chop and weld to make an E39 one. fabbing a motor mount is a comparatively easy thing to do esp in a case like this where the engine/chassis relationship isn't changing you just need to clearance it. basically 1. make a good jig using the E39 part, then 2. design/fab the turbo version using the E36 turbo part to show where you need the clearance for the compressor inlet. either steel or aluminum would be fine.

    but for sure read up and reach out to one of the few guys who's done this build if you can.
