Great, glad you're happy!

I've already got Hartge's, one of them has been refurbed to a poor standard and the ridge has been removed, and the other is buckled, so these would have been ideal!

I'm interested too I'm afraid, and don't shout at Woodys I'd spotted them way back.

How many E30s do you have Simon?

These sort of posts are good normally, so zoners can agree not too bid on items when someone else is, it can help save somone paying well over the odds on something. Doesn't look like it's going to happen in this case! :lol:
I see orangecurry that you are one of these e-bayers that will probably bid at the last second.

well spotted, Mr Holmes

I've lost a few things I'd fancied by showing my hand early in the past.

The problem with Ebay is that people get carried away (esp after 11pm on a friday) and will bid over sensible bids; which is great for the sellers.

We could go to the corner of the playground and say 'I saw it before you' for a couple of hours if you like?

You appear to make a living on Ebay yourself?

And no, I don't make a living on e-bay, just selling some interesting stuff now and again.

Can I ask what has how many E30's I got, got to do with anything?

I was thinking of doing a 4 stud conversion on it, but it looks like those hartges are going to cost me a lot!

The choice of wheels with 5 stud wheels is just too much for me to take.

I thought I'd narrow my choice down by converting to 4 stud, and could make some money by selling my 5 stud stuff.

but didn't those fabulous German engineers make it 5 stud for a good reason?
more power
different steering parts / geom
chassis seam welded (?) = stiffer
etc etc

won't you devalue the M3? or are you going to keep it forever?

IMHO BBS cross-spoke take a lot of beating for looks and weight

haven't you got a lovely set of year-matching genuine BBS yet Missy?

the set I got for 100 GBP were ok as it turned out; straight, in good condition - except the rear tyres.... someone had lowered too far! There are a few nice grooves carved out round the outer edge.
