Can anyone help?

Got an 87 M3 with 15" BBS Cross, wheels in desperate need of refurb. Looking for a cheep set to temp replace, so I can send those for refurb. Don't often find 5 stud around for 3 series. Heard rumours that 5 series, 525 and 535 - 15" fit. Now they are a better price on ebay especially if its only temp.

Can anyone confirm this for me :?:

Many Thanks

can't confirm anything I'm afraid, but the key thing to wheels is PCD, offset and then to a lesser extent width.

I assume the 5stud BBS are 7J? So all you need to know to be reasonably sure a different wheel will fit safely is the other two - these two values should be written on the back of your wheels - ask any Ebay sellers to confirm what is on THEIR wheels and fingers crossed.

Is PCD on the M3 still 100? Anybody? Yes you at the back?
