    e30 m3 + e34 turbines...

    now, i have had about a 12 year on/off love affair with the e30 m3. i may or may not ever own one, but they will always be one of my favorites. i recently saw a picture of something that piqued my interest, and did some research.

    i finally struck gold, and here it is.

    e34 m5 m system 1 turbines. i remember seeing them on the m5s and not being impressed, but 10 years later my opinions have changed after seeing this car. i don't think a more appropriate wheel for the e30 m3 has ever been forged on this earth. that includes BBS RSs.

    they have a very motorsport-esque look about them, especially when paired with an m3, and they are reported to be very light as well, so they've got both form and function covered. this is by far my favorite e3 m3 at the moment. that is not to say i wouldnt change a few things here and there, but it is still perfect in my eyes. i am in love.

    so please, feel free to discuss, and if you've got any more pics, please feel free to add them.

    guess what i just got TODAY....


    i cant wait to mount them with some new rubber.

    the thing is though, im not too big of a fan of the turbines, im thinking of either experimenting with painting them or straight out selling em for either stars or nothing at all.

                I think the front turbine is on the wrong side of the car. Rear wheel looks right though.

                And looks best w/o the cover. That's how I have 'em.

                It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                        I'm a huge fan of M-System I's

                        The "Turbine" covers are the heat. I've always liked that red car w/ the Whities.

                          they look like something from back to the future! so 80's! doesnt look bad on the old e30 body however.
