E30 M50/S50 Swap Motor Mounts (24V) - Poly

Below, we explain which applications each polyurethane hardness (durometer) is generally best for. The hardness of BMW OEM mounts is usually around 55A. The softest durometer we offer is our medium 70A/80A (OEM+), followed by our medium-hard 95A (Performance/Drift) and our rock-solid 75D (Race/High HP). If you need further help determining which hardness is right for you and your build, please contact us.  

• NOTE: Hardness alone is not an indicator of either the quality or the performance capability of a part, and should not be relied upon as a specification by itself. There are many compounds with very different quality and performance characteristics that can be produced at the same hardness. So, even though AKG mounts may have the same relative hardness as those sold elsewhere, the chemical structure of the raw materials and the manufacturing process is completely different. The quality of our polyurethane is so much better than anything else available, you can actually see and feel the difference for yourself!

70A/80A (Medium Compound) | OEM+
If you have a predominantly street driven car (with minor performance modifications) and are looking for that OEM+ feeling, then our medium 70A (or 80A) durometer is for you. 

Whether your stock mounts are in need of replacement or you’re just ready for a slight upgrade, our medium hardness is a good choice. Our medium compounds are engineered to retain a comfortable ride with improved performance over the stock mounts. They are designed to be stronger and last longer than factory OEM mounts, and come with a lifetime warranty.

The NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) increase is minimal (everyone’s perception of NVH is different and this is only a guide).

95A (Medium-Hard Compound) | Performance & Drift
If you have a more performance-focused “dual-duty” track or drift build that still sees street use and are looking for a considerable increase in performance, then our medium-hard 95A durometer is for you. 

If you’re looking to limit drivetrain movement for increased responsiveness and more effective power transfer through the drivetrain, then our 95A hardness is a good choice. Our 95A compound is engineered to deliver a significant increase in performance over stock by substantially decreasing deflection (movement) - while at the same time providing as much of a comfortable ride as possible during normal driving. They are designed to be stronger and last longer than factory OEM mounts, and come with a lifetime warranty.

The NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) increase is moderate (everyone’s perception of NVH is different and this is only a guide).

75D (Hard Compound) | Race & High Horsepower
If you have a purpose-built race or drift car, and are looking for the maximum possible performance available, then our rock-hard, race-proven 75D compound is for you. This is also the proper compound for high-horsepower and/or big-grip cars. 

If you want to eliminate the movement that occurs within the drivetrain for precise responsiveness and power transfer - and you aren’t concerned with any increase in NVH, then our 75D hardness is a good choice. Our 75D compound is specifically engineered to be the strongest and most durable non-metallic compound available. It is the best option for race classes where metal mounts are not allowed, or for those who do not wish to deal with the issues that can arise when using aluminum mounts.

Our U.S. Military Spec 75D compound is as hard as a bowling ball, yet has elasticity and memory. This exclusive compound allows us to manufacture a mount that provides virtually the same performance as a metal mount, but which isn't harsh on the chassis like aluminum mounts are. Likewise, its elasticity and memory means they are also free from deformation which cheap plastic mounts (Delrin/UHMW) are very prone to. They are the strongest and longest lasting non-metallic mounts available and come with a lifetime warranty.

The NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) increase is moderate to high (everyone’s perception of NVH is different and this is only a guide).

Our poly BMW M50/M52/S50/S52 swap motor mounts are specifically designed for the BMW S50, S52, M50, M52 (24V) engine into E30 swap. These 24V E30 swap mounts incorporate the correct angle and stud location for proper engine seating, and work to hold the engine in place for improved power transfer through the drivetrain. 

AKG Motorsport did the very FIRST E30 M50 swap and has been doing BMW swaps since the early 1980’s.

These are the original M50 swap mounts and are the best engineered mounts for use when swapping an M50, M52, S50 or S52 engine into an E30 chassis! These polyurethane (70A) motor mounts are our track/performance compound. They are specifically designed for those who want track capable engine mounts that are not harsh on the chassis and also provide for a relatively comfortable ride (such as with a daily driver). They feature our innovative interlocking system, which makes them much stiffer than a normal medium-durometer mount, but without compromising comfort. The exclusive, internal interlocking design makes them the only true aftermarket isolating mounts, while also helping to prevent separation of the motor mounts in an incident.

Our poly 70A medium-durometer compound is hard, yet slightly pliable – with elasticity and memory. This exclusive compound allows us to manufacture a mount with high performance characteristics that is free from the deformation which hard plastic mounts (Delrin, UHMW) are very prone to.

SELECT our optional performance trans mounts for performance/drift builds or our optional 75D trans mounts for track/race builds. Please review our Materials Hardness Tab (above) for more info.

NOTE: The material used for the trans mounts must be compatible with the material used for the motor mounts. Why is this?

NOTE: Passenger side motor mount must have a proper heat shield installed at all times.
