Block question

[Gazz]

I have this engine which I was told is from a Euro '89 735i.

Checking the Realoem site to identify it I can't see this same configuration where the mount holes are.
Checked E24,E28, E34, E23, E32.

As you can see in the pic the holes circled in white are extra to what I can find on Realoem and the red circle indicates a missing hole from what I have found on Realoem.

Does someone have know?

Thanks Matthew. Dirty?

What mounts did you use and do you have an extractor / headers exhaust system?

The two holes circled in white are for the motor mount on the m30b35
Pay no attention to them

You will only have 3 bolts to your mount- that's the missing one in red.
Good eye!

Hi Gazz I used the original mounts. with 4 bolts, I'll check if that forth bolt actually bolts to the block. Yes i have extractors. Dirty motor = no pollution gear engine from pommy land. Also running on Autronic engine management with 292 deg cam and 1mm oversize valves.
