Hi, Im looking into doing a 5 stud conversion on my 325i Cab, anyone know the best way to go about this....would it be trying to find some donor M3 bits or i have heard of a few people sticking the E36 Compact bits on....which is the best route that allows the 5 stud wheels to sit correctly without rubbing issues etc...
would be very greatfull if anyone could help with a breakdown of the best parts......

also looking to upgrade the steering rack which is best and requires minimum work

(looking at a turbo conversion over the winter if that makes a differance to the best setup) :drive:

Many thanks

The best setup is a complete m3 one, anything else is a compromise. Expect to pay a grand plus though. The m3 stuff has the right geometry and allows the use of lower offset wheels.

Bigbhpwanabe has got a complete 5 stud set-up with coilovers for sale. About 700 all in but does include a nice set of coilovers :D
