Hi people! I just saw a lovely looking tech-2 wheel for sale. It says it's for E34 and E32.

Q1: does it fit my precious E30?
Q2: does this wheel exist in different sizes like the earlier m-tech. what size(s)?

cheers!

lots of love, Mr Anstey.

I don't think it will fit. The wheel boss will be a different size.

E30 ones (for sure!) and E28 wheels...

There might be others... but definitely NOT E36 wheels...

Giles....

I thought the e34 one did fit, but the e36 one doesn't?

I could be very wrong, someone will hopefully reply who knows the truth!!

I think the one which comes from the e34 is a larger diameter than the one on the e30 sports and M3 etc.

The one on my old 5 series was massive compared to the one I have now!!

Basically yes.

The one in the five series has a slightly larger diameter.

Still a good looking wheel though!

Thanks chaps.... :? :)

I just remember reading it somewhere before, and being annoyed cos I sold my old five series which had Tax, MoT, and was in good condition on a J plate for 400, including an M-TechII wheel.. :cry:

Thanks for the dampers Jhonno, will fit them next weekend!
