Pictures of my new wheels and latest mods...

[bmwe30mtech]

My new 15" bbs with new rubber (replacing my 5 spoke 17"s), new black parcel shelf that i re-trimmed, and a few other bits and bobs. The wheels fill the arches much better than they used to, although still now enough. I also took off the stripes and some of the stickers!!!

Hope you like

good job...looks real impressive....

just ordered my new rims for my 90 325i yesterday...pics will be up when they come in

Looks good needs a little drop tho.
How high does it look with the 17s on

[bmwe30mtech]

Cheers guys. Yer needs a drop, but my drive is very stepp so it only just clears at the top as it is. And the 17's were stupidly high, that pic actualy makes them look lower than they were! (see sig pic also)

looks good did you get rid of old wheels because you didnt like them.
or because you want to fit in with all the other pureists on here.
ooooooh touched a nerve.
lets not go there again boring subject,
personally would modify all e30,s
not m3 thats the only one should be left alone

[bmwe30mtech]

lol elf dont lets get started on that again!! I changed them because im me and i far prefer the bbs now. Also becuase the 17"s handeled useless,a nd i was fed up! The handeling is 1000% better now

Paul

[maxfield]

Why not modify an M3? Theres alot of things to make it better than it is standard

[elf]

im not the one to say about modifying
just think m3 having had two now is a marqie of its own.
just for purity and value.
as far as modifying goes all other e30,s much easier and cheaper to buy and not going anywhere with story got my awnser
it was a handling thing thats fine.
its just when i went to ace some guys i spoke to who went on zone with mods got slated.now putting car back just to fit in.
i think i fit in nicely who else could you lot abuse ha ha ha.
nice car anyway

[Jon_Bmw]

Looks nice, just needs that drop as everyone says.

He probably changed the wheels to get some handling performance back, that is after all one of the reasons you would buy an e30.

Edit: to slow with the handling comment

[bmwe30mtech]

Cheers elf. Yer i was so fed up with pot holes, handeling, seing my drum brakes (lol) and have spent loads on steering parts, so it seemed a pitty not to finish off the tighter feel.

And no i dont care much what others think hence the m power stickers in back windows, and 'rude boy' very shiney DTM exhaust lol.

Cheers Jon, i know it needs a drop but wont get one, so no more drop comments, i have had them for the last year lol. With these wheels i understand why people buy e30's.

Hi Paul

Lookin' good but that's a fair gap between the arch and the front wheel

The re-trim looks great.

See you at a meet.
