Finally put new wheels on my car Deep dish Kerscher Carmona

[ImysE30]

also now have that picture on my desk top

You and me both

[greentouring]

Wow!! They look great............ and they aren't even BBS!!

I reckon your 40/40 drop looks good, mate and is probably more pratical that mine. If i do another drop, it will be that.

[blackcountrybimmerman]

I'm liking the look of those mukka

[Rav335uk]

Hope you've got big arms for polishing those rims

[ImysE30]

Thank's mate, you'll be seeing them in the flesh at the meet

[initial_g]

hmmm strange one i love these rims but the otheres suited the car better.. maybe there size? i think it will look nuts with a 60mm drop!

And you'll more than likely be seeing my bent and unpainted bbs's unless I get round to spraying them with a rattle can.....lol

[ImysE30]

Might even have it slammed

[mongoose]

looking rather dapper i have to say

[m4xos]

looks sweet imy!!! i took a fancy to those wheels but couldnt quite get my cheque to clear fast-enough! lol,

hence settled with the bbs rs's! but cost twice as much

[cassa-d]

lovely looking now mate... i need to sort my cab out and ditch the reps and get something with a dish

[ImysE30]

Thanks , Deep Dish and Council is the way forward , just need to drop it a tad on the front

[raj1980]

thats looking sweet. i know most might not agree but i think the front needs to come down more.

[ImysE30]

I agree it does, i don't want to drop it 60mm as it's already too low on 40mm. Putting in a bigger/better/heavier engine might just do the job

[raj1980]

i need more power from my car too, what are you planning? i have been looking at a 325 conversion as its easy and cheap power. i need to get it looking right first.

Hopefully fitting a M52 (E36 328) engine in it after the summer . Also looking at an M30 (3.5 litre engine) as well

[raj1980]

how much work is involved in fitting a m52 engine?

[ImysE30]

Main problem/issue is the manifold, if you know a good welder then you'll be alright, otherwise expect to pay around £700 for a ready made one

It's more work and more expensive than fitting an M30 but is a more modern engine, with the same sort of power figures

+1



Doesn't a stock M30B35 put out about 230bhp ? whereas a stock M52B28 is just under 200 ?

I know you can release extra horses on the M52 with manifold swaps etc but if you're going to feck around doing that you may as well do it on the larger capacity engine to start with

[gooner1]

No mate , think the stock M30 puts out between 211- 218 bhp.

[capri_rob]

Cheers fella - still a good starting point in un-stressed standard form

220BHP standard but expect most to be around the 210BHP mark. Still undecided over M30 or M52

[GrindCulture]

Well if you want something to weigh it down, M30 will do it, as M52s are lighter than M20s. Just put a few bricks behind the lights.

[ImysE30]

Thought the M5*'s were heavier?

Now that would be Council

[Rav335uk]

IMY, m30 it and be done

[capri_rob]

Imy M30 it - you can get a 535i or a 735i donor car for next to nothing - you know it makes sense

[DmcL]

looks nice. whats the offset/rim width/tyre profile? wouldnt mind a bit of stretch on my bus.

Putting words in my mouth There is a cheap 735 auto for sale near me but can't seem to find an E34's round my area

Thanks

Front offset is 20 and back is 15 i think, could be the other way round

Front wheels are 7.5j wide and the rears are 9j wide

Got stretched tyres all round, 195/40/16 on the front and 205/40/16 on the back

[blingsta]

just seen this mate, they look awesome !!
