E36 shooting brake division

[MattTheHat325]

If your tyres are anywhere near original alpina size they will be a lot wider than mine also so that will take up some of the gap maybe? They're supposed to be 265/35 I think and 245 or 235/45 fronts.

[Simon13]

i see yeah the tyres are huge tbh. You not got this on the e36 forum?

[MattTheHat325]

I'm signed up but never really go on there to be honest. Prefer the vibe on here if I'm honest! Oh and I do have an e30 by the way I'm not an imposter!

Edit: just realised it's in my sig anyway, doh!

[Simon13]

i'm getting that way they're all trying to bitch me down about a comment i made about what kind of people buy/own £500 cars. In the off topic chat. They are a touchy lot, take offence easily. i'm struggling to not to go for it.

[E30BeemerLad]

got a link Si?

[Simon13]

yeah, try this

i start on page 2, not done very well tbh. I got a PM off a guy saying i needed to explain myself!

Haha I know what you mean. I like the influence the older generation (than me!) has on here. Fountains of knowledge and capable of more articulate banter! I'm sure there are some really good guys on there, I just never felt the inclination to get as involved in the forum. On here it feels like everyone really knows each other, even if they've never met!

[E30BeemerLad]

This place isn't without it's faults but it's by far the best car forum I have ever been on.

They do seem like a rather sensitive bunch of homos on there. Mind you, £500 probably buys a better E36 than E30 these days.

how wide are the wheels?

a standard evo runs 245 40 rears on 8.5x17, and theyre too big imho

[E30BeemerLad]

I must say 328 tourings are pumping my nads right now

The alpinas are 8j front and 9j rear. I'm pretty sure the alpina models came with 265/35 rears

[spook]

Thats a nice looking E36 Matt, any pics with the car on Style 5s.

235/40/17 (8J) front and 265/35/17 (9J) rear are the OE size.

For an Alpina right Mo?

M3 evo is 225/45R17 and 245/40R17.

[Blitz]

Yeah.

[Simon13]

the 265/35's are NLA now, no one makes them

I know most on this forum don't like cars like this but hey, i can deal with it











I don't have any immediately up-to-date ones, but it has just been re-sprayed and is now minus roof rails.

[dips346]

nice rims

[Simon13]

[MattTheHat325]

nice rims

Nice job!

[spook]

Good man, very smart.

[MattTheHat325]

Cheers boys. I just need to leatherize the interior now, can't decide a colour

[Simon13]

Black on that i'd go. I've a buffalo leather sport drivers seat to get you started! Its out of an m3 cab.

[leeparkes]

Those style 5's look proper.

[spook]

Black foreshore

[dips346]

nice rims

Nice job!

thanks mate

i think a cinnamon coloured interior would look great in that

[redcar]

Awesome rims mate
Look real cool!

[MattTheHat325]

I agree black would suit it, I would have most chance of finding a mint black sport set than any other colour probably. If a retrim was on the cards I had been tempted by champagne or cardinal too

[MattTheHat325]

Yeah I like that a lot Dips

[Jhonno]

Grey or champers would look the nuts dude..

[schnaarf]

Unfortunately, that Aaron guy is the kind of prat you get over there. It's not a good forum, and I didn't miss it at all.

[pacerpete]

C0ck, I go through all the trouble of signing up and reading through the whole thread to tell the losers how it is, to find that the thread is locked !

[MattTheHat325]

I love how they are all puffing their feathers up because Si didn't reply for ages, then when he came back on everyone backed down and swept it under the carpet! As if they were all whispering to each other 'sh#t he's a zoner, we're out of our depth here' haha I love this place

[pacerpete]

nice rims

Hi build black stonechip ftw !
