    You realize that Eric lives in Germany and takes the car to the Nurburgring fairly often, right? And "those wheels" with real sized tires will require flares on a non-M e30 chassis.

      It sports a e38 v12 engine, fully mappable ECU, supertrap exhausts, 850CSi 6-speed manual, Z3 M Coupe running gear and brakes, fuel cell, and so on and so on.

              It's a one-off, and a hack-job at that.

                Unfortunately not a one off (but a hack job for sure). They were built in the Netherlands using A1 VW golf hatches. Sort of like the Bauer vert hack hack jobs and not official BMW.

                  Yeah, I think they only built a very small handful of them.

                    That is the common conception, but I run 17"x8" et20, 235/40/17 tires and I have rolled my fenders. I put some good pressure outwards on the sheetmetal with the fender roller and created some flare, but i clear with no rubbing at all. Pics of my track car which rolls on this setup:

                      Back then he had the white car with the zender flares. Then he moved to that color, saw it sorta recently at a PMS meet. Car looks a lot better now!

                        I worked with him last summer, we've gotten to be good friends. He told me yesterday though that he can't make it to the picnic this year, kind of a bummer.

                        Right now the interior is totally removed, but the exterior is coming along. I'm supposed to help him get the mtech 2 rear bumper on in the next few weeks, then we'll finish smoothing out the flares.

                          I run 17x8 et22 with 235/40/17 all around and a decent roll. No rubbing exceot for full lock out of the driveway because I'm pretty slammed.
