    More picks

    I just got the car down off the jacks and it is driving like a car on rails. I love the set up and cant wait till cars and coffee and the next track day. The car definitely needs wax and a good wash but that is peanuts to the conversion I just did. It is out of and at schneller fo an alignment but I should get it back today.

        Wheels look a little bit too big IMO, but the style really goes with the BMP body kit. I just got my 5-lug car aligned yesterday and it is phenomenal. Well done.

          It looks legit, man.

          I have the whole e36 5 lug shebang sitting here, Ive been debating whether to swap it. Never thought you could swing 18"s on an e30 without looking gaudy, but you may of just pulled it off.

                  What size are those rotors?

                  I'm putting 13" rotors on my E30 tonight. :)

                  I regret not doing a 5 lug swap into my e30... but i had already spent 3000 bucks on custom made wheels before I thought about it.

                      Hmmm, same body kit as my car.

                      What size tires are you running? I always thought some tucked 18s with 225/35/18s could really look nice. Like a DTM style look.

                        caster settings?? i see you are using stock offset lollipops and m3 96-up CA's, but your front tires look pretty well centered in the wheelwell while mine with the same control arm and bushing setup were set back a little bit. I installed adjustable strut hats and pushed the top of the strut foward, (decrease caster) and it is closer to center, but still not perfect.. I still think that the M3 knuckles (which i dont have) move the centerline foward more than regular e36 stuff
