When you get them enabled send me a PM.

I would need to make a new mount either way. I scrapped and recycled the original M3 mount because I decided to use a smaller bushing in my setup. With the mount perfecty centered the mount clears the subframe just fine but was too close to the body of the car and could make contact.

So I revised the 188 diff mount to use a smaller bushing and never followed up on doing the same with the M3 diff version.

I still have the CAD files but we would need to do a bunch of measurements and revisions to make it work for an M5 and I probably won't have much time for a one off project for a while.

We can talk about me making a quick conversion to the smaller mount and you would then need to make the frame meet up with that.

Lol it may take a few weeks til it gets enabled but can you send me email rajinders737 @ gmail.com ?

Yeah a quick conversion mount would be nice then I can do the rest. I can also take what ever measurements are needed for you.

Thanks,
Raj

The stock rear differential cover is the same bolt pattern(confirmed) and I wouldn't mind purchasing it and then using that as the base to modify it to fit my car. The rear diff mounts are so weak that I snapped one. Had to get it re-welded so adding a 4th support would be ideal.

Please let me know if you can have one made or send the plans. We can definitely talk cost in regards having you make one for me.

Thanks,

youre doing this with a stock dme or htg controller?

Stock DME with a trans controller. Everything works like OEM. No HTG junk. Working on rev match blips and that should be ready soon. Factory paddles and drivelogic work too. Using F10 M5 shifter.

Im ready to drop the subframe and get started. Can you please email me?
