Did you sell the alpinas? I want those things!

[Juhi]

Thank you all!
I just put it rolling to take some pics, still missing exhaust, brakes and drive shafts etc.

How was the 5-lug done?

Adapters on front, re-drilled hubs on rear.

Did you sell the alpinas? I want those things!

No, I still got them. They are for sale though. For your info, they are replicas.

Fuckin' Scandinavians always have the best E30s. There's a couple things I would do differently, but they really just come down to personal preference. That car is beautiful, keep up the good work.

edit: Are you selling that M-Tech II steering wheel?

[bmwscaner]

You are foreign, so it is forgiven. But next time read a little more.

sory I didn' saw that information. Rims are too good so I forgot about the other information: D
I ask this because I have BBS RS 9.5x17 et13 and 8.5x17 et13 so I wonder will it fit on my e30. I still have not done redril from 5x120 to 4x100 so I must know what to expect :D

Awesome looking car!

Its a great looking car, but I seriously feel sorry for those wheels. With skinny tires stretched so far, the edge of the rims are unprotected and will find the ground at some point. Also they will end up out of round. Ask me how I know (I had a very nice set of very rare Ronal SX wheels, the previous owner stretched a set of 215s across an 8.5" wide wheel. I found a crack. It sucked to be me.:letitout:) Also, raise the front end up, the suspension geometry is all messed up sitting that low. If you do the math, I bet you will find your roll center is WAY too low, the rear end is way too high, and you have lots of body roll. Or get some big roll center spacers for the front.

This is by no means a nit-pick, just an observation and a potential way to make things work better. Its a great looking car, I'd just hate to hear something got broken.

I'm not selling the original steering wheel, it is in great condition, would be shame to sell it. :)

I have driven with stretched tires last 4 years, haven't got any cracks on rims. It is between ears and about driving style, to get or not cracks on the rims.

I know, that height is not best for suspension geometry, but it is always compromise between the look and function, when you want a good stance.
