Looking forward to following the m57 thread! Will you be using the oil filled mounts with vacuum or just normal rubber ones?
Well you cant really split them and make the desired angle,but to be honest X5 and 320cdi turbos bolt in same way to the engines,so when they mated together they are it very good shape.All we needed to do is re-root the turbo return pipe,and make a small dent in chassis leg to clear the vacuum actuator.
This engine conversion uses normal rubber engine mounts.
