    Complete 5 Lug Conversion

    Rear 318 trailing arms with fresh bushings + hubs etc
    Rear drilled slotted rotors and good pads

    Front 325is struts and control arms
    Front M3 Cabs
    Front drilled slotted rotors with good pads

    Cosmo camber plates

    Bilstein sports all around

    GC coilover conversion with 400/550 rates. No rear adjusters

    All bearings good.

    Bought my car with this installed. I want to run normal 4 lug wheels again and loose the added weight.

    The brakes are incredible. Hubs are good. And its been stable to 145mph.

    Ill start this off at $2600 OBO just becuase i need to state a price. if you give me your old 4 lug stuff I would definetly knock the price down.



    Coilovers all the way down



    Ill throw in the wheels for free at that price btw

    I know the 325i/328i E36 stuff will bolt up in the front but I thought that you had to use 96+ E36 M3 control arms, cabs, and spindles to get the correct geometry?

    A friend of mine who tried this setup had issues with the back of the wheel rubbing if he made sharp turns mainly because it pushed his wheels to the back of the front wheel well. Did you experience anything like that with this setup?

        Interested.. Do you know who sells them?

        My brother and I both have plans to go 5 lug in the spring and he's hunting down the parts for his swap now. I'll pass your thread along to him.
