Hi there, Ive had my 325i track car for a couple of years now and have loved it so much that I am going to now spend out and have the body work made better, and was wondering if any one knew of any bolt on arches that will fit the e30 to accomodate some much larger wheels? something like they fit to a mk2 escort? any feedback would be very heplful. cheers.

They do, somewhere. Alternatively get a roller (borrow one) and DIY

be careful. the ABS ones are actually 2002 arches and don't fit without some work, i have these on mine. the red pictures above are from BMP Designs car and are not the arches you will be sent. BMP's ones are vastly different and were specifically made for the e30, Irelands are not. how they get away with using those pics is amazing in a country as litigious as the US.

the white ones were not getting great reviews last time i checked. search on some of the US e30 sites for them, you will see some good and bad reviews.

Thanks guys, thats exactly the kind of thing i have been looking for, I had already had the arches rolled, but the inner arches have always needed replacing so i can cut out all of the exsisting arch and fit something like this

Got a fibreglass M3 kit, front wings, rear quarters and sideskirts. Does need a bit of work as it has been trial fiited to a car that never got finished.
