A UUC Motorwerks E30 - S52/BBK/Wheels/Mtech/More

[T3rd Ferguson]

I have euro grills for sale ;)

[Rob@UUC]

Love the m-tech/IX combo... Loose the mirrors and add some euro grills and it would be perfect IMO.

Props.

Nobody likes the mirrors? Huh... I thought they were a tasteful and subtle update. As a detail point on BMW styling, they are "period correct" as E34 M5s had those as a factory option in Europe.

I may change them back, but primarily for the reason that the other mirrors give better visibility.

With a trade, I'd solve both "issues" then.

Safe to say the setup cost and minimum feasible manufacturing quantity is the problem. Serious question, how many people would really want a 15x8 or 8.5? Maybe there really is a missed opportunity there!

TRM, 6UL come to mind.

[2002maniac]

True... but it's hard to find a 15x8 that is light and has good brake clearance and looks good. It seems that any 2 out of 3 is possible, but 3 for 3 not so much.

Rota slip, 6UL, TR

All available in 15x8 and have excellent brake clearance and light weight.

Rob, I'd take an RSC36 for the E30. I have an older model version on my E36 M3 (TSE or some such model I think), and I love it.

Car looks great! I'll echo the other posters and say the mirrors don't look right to me on the car.

I'd rock a set of 15x8 or 15x8.5 D-Forces if I could run 235 R888s or NT01s without bulge.

I'll look into the options ASAP.

What are available offsets of the slips? Seems mostly high like et40 is where every rota is at. I haven't looked into a set of 15s though. I have some of the group buy et20 16x8 slips. Love them.

[getouth]

Thanks for the inspiration!! Nice!!!

[txtorquemade]

Eurogrills... yeah. That would be nice.
Standard mirrors, sure..if thats worth doing to you.
New wheels? Ok..

But the best mod or change this car could experience is a change in scenery and owner.

Sell it to me!!!!!!! NOW!

ha.. and wouldn't I freak if you did!!! ( I'd take it off your hands though, for sure).

looks like the 15x8 et20 slips are NLA, but they do have a 15x7.5 et20 at 18racing.com

LTW5 in 15x8 would be sweet.

[dinanm3atl]

Damn. I love the look of them. Love my 16s. Can't wait to see a set of the UUC BBK behind them.

Dude... your car was my inspiration! Even half-assed (meaning when it first rolled and there was still much to do), it was the reminder of what modern power in a clean E30 was like. Remember, I did tell you (twice) that I'd be ready to take your car off your hands!



Lot of new stuff coming. Next up: total header and full exhaust system for S5x/M5x swap cars. :-D

haha.. thanks, man. glad i could inspire! yours looks amazing!

but, shit... i wish i knew you were in the market. i'm actually in the middle of prepping my car now, for a potential sale offering.

(i got a letter from the government, the other day. i opened and read it. it said they were suckers.)

so yeah... letting go of lots of stuff.

need a spare? ;)

[4doorE30=D]

1 word..BEAST!

[sandlock]

nice work.
