bbs split rims

[biggee]

I have a set of 16" GOLD bbs split rims on my 1987 M3.
Does anybody know if these were an additional spec extra available from BMW at that time.
I have never seen a set of wheels like this on another M3 and wondered if they belonged to another BMW.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Regards.

I'm pretty sure those will be aftermarket.

they sound like bbs gold edition which are rare as hens teeth if they are gold in the centre and all the center hub is?

Hi, They were an factory option extra !.
They are BBS "RS" 3 peice splits.
Allot of E30's came with them, but they were 4x100pcd, as the m3 are a 5x120pcd.
This is what i have been dealing with for years ( refurbishing ect )lol.

here's mine on my g60 golf

THE BMW ARE 5X120 NOT 5X100
no e30 4x100 came with rs 3 piece as option

That G60 looks bloody nice though! But Dips is right... no 4-stud E30 came with BBS splits as an option from the factory.

Very nice but there was no e30 that came with bbs rs's as an option.

Ok then ,so were did the RS wheels in 4x100 come from, as i have buying these for years, and most of them come of bmw e30's + cab's normally 7jx15 et25 rs 001's .

They were aftermarket purchases... surely?

Who know's.
I have always been led to beleive that they come on e30's as an option from dealers?

2 piece bbs's vw option 3 piece BBS splits , >option were BMW , Audi / Merc's , and many others,
But i have always bought e30 splits because they fit strtaight on to v-dubs>4x100 LK

I think they were an option on the M3, i've seen a scan of a catalogue for them, it might have been a schnitzer option though!?
