I have a 1985 635csi, with the Getrag 265 manual transmission. I wanted to install some stiffer transmission mounts, but I found that I have the angled transmission mounts.
Based on this article, it seems that the E30 M3 mounts are the same size:

Given that, has anyone tried installing these in their E24 with G265 transmission?

Thanks, but those are for Getrag 260, I have Getrag 265. The transmission has angled mounts. You can see what they look like in this diagram.
(the left side is E30 M3 mounts, right side E24 Getrag 265 mounts)
I brought in garagistic mounts similar to those from IE to my mechanic and they said it would not work. They are a very reputable BMW shop, I trust what they say is correct. Also, it is plain to see that the mount will not fit correctly as is.
Anyway, I have ordered the AKG mounts (for the E30 M3 but i believe it should be compatible). Will see if it works. I'll report back here for anyone else with my situation in the future.

Update: the mounts from AKG fit! The only difference is that the lower stud is 6mm vs 8mm, but given that the mount is already locked into place within the transmission crossmember, should not be an issue.
