What wheels were originally on the 318i Lux? will these fit?

Post Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:49 pm

I think youve all seen it by now, my Lux has oz alloys on it at the moment, i think the car will probably sell better with original wheels (which i havent got) or at least some decent BBS alloys

THe oz alloys are 15 inch, and there is a 15 inch BBS in the boot

Did the lux have 15" or 14" wheels?

Im female... forgive the ignorance..

Will a set of alloys off a E34 535i fit the e30? cos sum1 local is sellin sum but dont know what he's selling!

Can anyone tell me the PCD etc, or whatever i need to know if alloys will fit?

well even the 325i se only came with 14" bottletops as standard so i cant see the 318i lux coming with 15".

oh ok so loads of you "opted" to stick cross-spokes on..

sorry im a simpleton.. i love driving, posing in, and collecting e30's.. but dont know much yet!

E34 ones wont fit as they are 5 stud, and e30s need 4.

the pcd is 4 X 100, and the ET depending on the actual alloy is between 25 and 20

thanks johnono

sorry ive just declared myself as an idiot...

didnt realise they were 5 stud.
(though to be fair the centre caps were on!)

what are the 4 stud cross spokes off?

usually an e30, but depending on age / style they could be from an e21

The Lux had 14" BBS as standard, so you only need to spend 60 quid or so to bring it back to original spec

ok, thanks for that, will dig out some loose change...

if i can get a set with tyres i can make the money back (and more) by selling the wheels that are on there, so when i get back to work in november the 1st thing on my list is a set of bbs in decent nick

Sorted

You'll have an infinitely better chance of selling it with the BBSs on

14 inch? Are you sure? My 318i lux has 15 inch bbs crosspokes and they were on from new, says on the origional documentation. Maybe it was a extra option.

Im sure it wil sell better with standrd wheels, not that the ones on it are bad. By the way did they do a 4 dr and 2dr lux model then??!

Post Sun Sep 04, 2005 6:08 pm

Yeah they were optional.

Post Sun Sep 04, 2005 6:12 pm

And yeah you could get both a 2-door and 4-door Lux, as well as a Lux convertible and a Lux touring.

Wow, i didnt know the whole lot came in lux models! I have learnt another e30 fact!!

bmwe30mtechwhere would i find what wheels are meant to be on the car then?... is it stamped somewhere on the car?
or do you have the orignal sales receipt?

Post Mon Sep 05, 2005 1:35 am

Just put 14" BBS on it, it's what the Lux came with as standard so the buyer can't complain.

i would do as zayan says, 14 inch were standrd and will cost you less!

I got a printout from local dealer to show the days my car was built, and what they built into it. So thats where you find out if your interested.

Post Mon Sep 05, 2005 7:24 pm

bmwe30mtech thats really interesting.. may just enquire if i pass a dealership in the future (im no-where near one)

So i be on the look out for some 14" bbs when ive got the cash, just spent Ãƒ”šÃ‚£100 (a weeks income) on baby toys today so it be a while before i can afford the alloys!
