Some pics of the car when i first bought it it may





And here are some i took last month after a few months of blood sweat and tears, Still lots of work to do, but getting there!

hi mate, where did u get the crystal front indicators from? after some for my touring but cant seem to find anyone who sells them :s

Hi mate, got them off ebay, really cheap. i would send you a link, but can only get 60 days purchase history so can't find the seller. Just search "clear indicators bmw e30" on ebay and they should show up.

hello mate, what wheels have you got ??

Bloody Instagram pictures!!!! I do like a picture of a nice clean Sport

Looks Great - More pics.........

Hardly!! Try printing one out!!!!

Trouble is everyone thinks they can take a good picture!!! Wrong- you've taken a shite picture and algorithms roll your turd picture in glitter!!!

I've even had a friend ask my advice on which dSLR he should get his wife for Christmas as she can take a really nice picture (on her iPhone/Instagram) and is now thinking of taking up photography part-time

It's a very subtle and ingenious way of plotting peoples whereabouts!!!

Brilliant!

I use to be great on the game Hitman... Dont think I'd take it up part time though.

I do agree though, people think it looks great and most of the time its... Not

This looks really nice, just one constructive criticism, plz dont take it the wrong way, but in my opinion the rear wheel could do with spacing out

Nothing wrong with instagram! I don't take a good picture, or am I interested in photography, so was just playing around with it!

Spacing rear wheels is next job, it doesn't look bad in the flesh as you don't see the camber in the pics well, but I would like to bring the top of the wheel almost flush with arch, it as 15mm spacers on the front, think i'll only need 10mm on rear as wheels are 9j

Are these the ones you bought? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-SERIES- ... 43b1c99e8c he doesnt have a set for a touring but im guessing if they fit a coupe/saloon/cabrio then they'll fit my touring ?

I love those wheels!

What are they?!

they are staggered Lenso, 7.5j, 9.5j I have bbs centre caps on them and I think they look really cool. I did look for genuine bbs, but it was hard to find 4 x 100 in the offset I wanted, and they are very expensive!

How much????

Those indicators aren't the ones I got, mine were just the lenses, think they only cost me a 10er

I think they were about 600 for 4 wheels without tyres.

That's expensive for those wheels, as in about a year, the laquer peels, you then get clouding in the laquer, you might lose a centrecap too.
I know a zoner who's had those problems.

The car is garaged, only driven in dry conditions, and I plaster them in wheel seal after every wash to prevent this. Just have to see how it goes.

I just couldn't justify spending excess of a grand on wheels when with the money I saved on these allowed me to get important things done like welding the battery tray and rear valance, and buying the parts to give it a full service, if the wheels start to go bad I'll get them refurbed or just chuck them away and get a different set.

I did read all the feedback from people on these wheels across this and other forums and it was 50/50 to be honest, just have to look after them and deal with it if something happens.

A £1k set of genuine BBS splits will always be worth £1k, and will last 10x as long!! Worth it in the long run

+100%

And if Id found a set of 16" bbs rs' on a 4 x 100 stud fitment for a grand, I would have snapped them up, without a doubt.

Was it ever found? Bad news that, I'd be devastated if mine disappeared

Man really sorry
never new it was stolen

I don't think it was found. Most likely stripped for parts and crushed

The guy had only bought it a few weeks before... Would have been gutted!
