Fitment on a used engine mount varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No – these are completely different generations with completely different engines: the E46 M3 (2001–2006) used the S54 straight-six, while the E90/E92/E93 M3 (2007–2013) used the S65 V8, so the mounts are not interchangeable. The mounting geometry, block architecture, and subframe design are all generation-specific. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker.
Both years fall within the E90-generation M3 (2007–2013), all of which used the S65 4.0-litre V8, so there is a strong basis for compatibility. However, ancillary and mounting detail changes can occur mid-production run, so confirm the specific part number against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Yes, the M3 does have engine mounts, but they are specific to the M variant rather than shared with standard 3 Series models, because the M engines (S54, S65, S55 depending on generation) have different block dimensions and outputs that require their own mounting solutions. Do not assume a mount from a non-M 3 Series will fit an M3 – always source M3-specific parts and confirm against your registration with the breaker.
No – body style does not affect engine mount fitment on the E90-generation M3; the engine and its mounting points are the same across the saloon, coupe, and convertible variants of that generation. Focus on the engine code (S65) rather than the body style when sourcing a used mount from a breaker.
For the F80 M3 (2014–2020), Competition and CS are performance upgrades to the same S55 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine, and trim level does not change the engine mount specification. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker, as that is the detail that matters most for fitment.
The F80 M3 ran from 2014 to 2020 with a facelift introduced for the 2017 model year, but the S55 engine carried through unchanged across that boundary. There is a reasonable chance the mounts are compatible, but mid-production ancillary changes can occur, so confirm the specific part against your exact registration with the breaker rather than assuming it crosses the facelift boundary safely.
