The bottle top poll.

[Chris-W]

Not fair, Barry. Shiny clean BBS versus nasty brake dust caked bottletop!

[Alex]

I think A mint car with Bottle tops gives you that unmolesterd image that the car has had 1 owner etc etc

[mrcool]

So what wheels were the options for the E30's

14" Bottletop
14" BBS
15" BBS

[Alex]

14" Bottletop
14" BBS
15" BBS

also style 10 wheels

[mrcool]

Swap the good tyres from the bottletops onto the BBS.

Dirty BBS alloys are still cooler than clean bottletops. ;)

Bottle tops 14"

BBS 15"

Use the 14" until the tyres are worn out - winter wheels?

Once they are worn use the 15" - keep for summer?

[Brianmoooore]

You don't get scrotes nicking the centre caps with bottletops.

[bss325i]

You don't get scrotes nicking the centre caps with bottletops.

Thats because BBS caps have a value!

You can get a set of bottle tops with tyres for the price of amint set of 15" BBS caps!

[Ollie_bwoii]

No contest, PERIOD!

Honestly I think it looks best with the bottletops. 15" BBS suit a facelift car more than a pre-facelift.

Who's car is that? Any more pics?

[jaymos]

I agree ollie, the bottletop/chromie combo is the best by far.

[bss325i]

Its mine and no more pics till i decide what to do with it.

The damaged parts have been replaced and the black mirrors and boot spoiler have been replaced with colour matched ones.

[bss325i]

14"s look shit on a chrome turd as the rear arch profile is higher and that excaserbates the diminutive wheel and tyre size.

All e30's need a mininum of 205/55R15 to look good!

[bss325i]

MUCH better!

[Ollie_bwoii]

Looks fantastic. And in good condition I think I can see an oil cooler grille valance, so is it a 325i?

What did you have planned for it when you brought it then? Or was it just a spur of the moment thing?

Its a 325i auto, has FULL service history with every bill, invoice and MOT from new and was sold new by my local dealer.

Absolutely 100% correct. Go to the top of the class

[e30topless]

No contest, PERIOD!

proof that bottletops are shite

[sweep]

15 inch bbs from me.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Andyboy's old 320i is one of my favourite lookign chromies.

[bss325i]

Where is Andyboy with a thread like this going on?!

He would prob vote bottle shit are cool though.

[sweep]

What front bib spoiler is on andys?

[sihooker]

It doesn't matter what wheels you put on a red chromie...it'll always look wrong to me.

If it were a black chromie, slightly lowered and sitting on polished BT's, that'd be the dogs balls!

[sweep]

Or council dynamics..

[e30topless]

What front bib spoiler is on andys?

a jimmy hill !

[sweep]

Anyone got a jimmy hill?

[gooner1]

And you've already molested the original spec by removing the bottletops and fitting 15" BBS

Don't blame you.....I did the same thing

[sweep]

And the search goes on.

If i keep it it will be converted to manual and may even become a track turd, cage the lot!

[daimlerman]

I've never heard of people buying bottle tops, just replaceing them but if i had steels then a set of 14" BBS would be prefferable.

Toys and pram spring to mind....

Just by the number of posts Barry has made attempting to prove how right he is....
