Re: Style 65 on E30

I have bbs style 5 17" et20 on my E30 m3 with e46 M3 325mm front brakes.
I had to grind the calipers a bit to get clearance.
The Brembos are very wide, I would guess you might need a 30mm spacer.

Re: Back in the fold...

This is going to be epic, that F10 M5 I had a little 'traffic light grand prix' with on the way to Gaydon last year is the only car I have come across that put up a decent fight against the V10 M3, losing 3/4 of a ton and using a dct box will be worth the effort :D

e36 / 46 M3 rear brakes on an e30 M3

Has anyone fitted e46/36 M3 rear brakes to an e30 M3 ?
I believe the handbrake shoes / drum are a different size and I presume an adaptor bracket would be required ?

It depends on the kit, I know the M3 indicators are a different size to a normal e30.

I have an ATP 55L tank in my car, I can't comment on the original e30 pump but I have 2 e60 m5 pumps mounted in the 'swirl pot' inside the tank. I have never suffered fuel starvation but the pumps are mounted as low as possible and will pump the tank almost dry.
