Probably an obvious question, trying to see if any E30 had 5-bolt lugs. If yes, which ones, years, etc. I want to convert my 4x100 to 5 lug, need part numbers for wheel flanges/hubs that will fit with the OEM E30 wheel bearings, struts, etc.

the M3's came with 5 bolt lugs, and if i remember correctly some tourings.

your can also fit the hubs/suspension?? from a E36 compact or the Z3 to make your E30 a five bolt

If the E36 hubs are the same diameter, and I can use the E30 bearings, or if the E36 bearings will work in the E30 then that's the route to go. Are the 5-bolt bolt patterns all the same?

It was the south african 325is their version of our sport, but built to be more special than a sport and to go racing as they did not get any officially imported M3's there! It had M3 suspension, but Alpina based 2.7L M20, and aluminium panels.

and it wasn't just the evo2 the first version also had 5 stud suspension, as it came in 325is and 325is evo, I think iirc the only difference beteen the two models was the aluminium bonnet and wings.

2.5 high comp. M20, 3.64 LSD, Fully undersealed, Spax springs & Bilstein shocks, s/s exhaust, Alpina rep wheels and more.
