E30 M3 BBS RS Option alloys

Can anyone remember the sizes and offsets of the wheels?

I'm sure they were 8 & 9 x16, but can't remember the offsets.


And to settle an "argument" what were the BBS RS optional wheels for the normal E30s?

7x15, but what offset?

Best place to get a set of new Eibach springs?

I want a set of lowering springs for my 320is and i've decided on some eibach springs.

Where would be a recommended place to get them from, and being the 320is, would you use the same as a set for a 318is?

Cheers,

Simon

Re: 190mph? Possible?

E30 M3 touring cars were regularly clocked on some circuits at more than 185mph.

Around 400bhp and the correct gearing with some minor bodywork tweeks will see 190mph.

A de restricted E39 M5 will do and indicated 195 "relatively" easily.

Question about "GUG"

Everywhere i seem to look on the internet at the moment i see references to this car.

It seems to have been around for ages with lots of people claiming to have done the mods on it.

Who actually built it?

The balance of an inline 6 can be perfect, the balance of a VR6 can not. They're a bastardisation of an excellent engine configutation (the I6). Why is it that with 400cc more capacity than the M20B25, they only make 20bhp more? Why is it that with all their modern electrotrickery, they have a spec...
