mbonanni's Early Lachssilber Four Door Project

[henryki]

diggin those wheels with the meaty tire, but I have had my 4 door for awhile now, and don't get me wrong I love it, but I've been seeing a lot of coupes and have been contemplating selling and starting over.. not to mention my rear left window refuses to roll down and I'm getting sick of it haha

[mbonanni]

Thanks man! Debating if I want to go smaller on my next tire settup.

If I hate the chance to get a super clean coupe in burgundrot or calypso I would restart.

I dig it too.. looks a lot better than I would've though if you just told me that it had meaty tires on it...

Mbonanni.. S5x swap in the future for this baby? ;D Haha that's what im looking at for mine. Love the car man.. keep up the good work!

Thanks guys, tires will be sized down a little bit soon.

As for swap, I am not sure. I hope to be getting another e30 soon and handing this one down to my brother. If he owns it it won't ever get a swap.

If I want to swap it I would be swapping in an m30.

Between the stock strut mount and the coil over top hat, is there suppose to be a washer there?
I haven't done this in a while and just want to be sure (for someone else's car.)

Oh man I don't remember. There was a super good how to of this somewhere that may show it. I will find it.

Wheel/tire specs?

And I still haven't decided M30/S52... But I know a lot more about S52s... That's why I'm leaning towards it

16x8 et20 tires in those pics are 225/50 which are oversized. 225/45 is correct.

M30's gruntness and proven reliability is what makes me want it so bad. And it keeps it somewhat og by staying with SOHC.

[HennaE30]

Yea... I can understand that... But I've never even seen an M30 in person before :P

I only have in 6 series.

Any updates on the car? Also what's with the missing door trim on the pass rear door... I just noticed it and it's driving me nuts.

I got a coupe with euro bumpers and this is going to my brother. Won't be many updates on it since he isn't much of a car guy.

I took the recaros, Luke box, ground control, and going to eventually take the side skirts and spoiler.

This will be sitting on bottle caps and hr sport springs with bilsteins and stock comfort interior.

Wanna gift me those euros? :D build thread for the new car? What're gonna do with those wheels? I don't like them on any car except yours for some reason lol

Haha, the euros were the main reason I bought the car.

If I ever borrow my sisters camera ill start a build thread. Im not doing much to it. Just driving it and loving it.

As for the wheels they are for sale. It is so hard to find decent priced tires for 16" wheels. I wish I could keep them.
