I care. I care in the way that it is effing HILARIOUS that that dang abomination finally died!! I mean, it was maybe awesome BEFORE the air bags and the roof chop and the Nissan engine and the gold freaking wheels... but then it just went waaay too far, and finally died in a fire.

I am pleasantly amused.

Yes and yes again. I gotta be honest I kinda liked it before it turned into a stancworks airbagged hipstermobile.

exactly. 15 in weaves or 17 in what-cha-ma-call-its below in sig..


best iteration of the car was before the engine swap

I just threw up.

That used to be the cleanest E28 I had ever seen. Like ever. Those were good days.

[Atreus]

it literally fucking DIAF.

nice.

[325ix]

That E28 is hideous.

Was. Now it is just sad.

I think 17's can look good on an e30 if it is low enough

[Iannfld]

E30 M3 can pull off 17s....



I think they look too big on a regular E30....




I prefered my 325is with its old 15s over the current 17s...



I've got some 16" E28 M5 weaves I'm refinishing and putting on the M3. If I could find an E30 M3 5 lug set up I'd sell my E36 M3 / ground control 5 lug set up on the 325is and go back to something smaller (and have the same offset as the other E30).

One of these days, i WILL get GC + 5-lug, that is a promise. And also, when that happens, I WILL get E38 style 5s.

Dude's I'm back. I had some stupid server error all weekend. I think my links to R3V were corrupt. I agree w/ everyone about the 17". 16" are perfect for E30. If I had to either way I would go 17's over 15's though. My larger walled tires don't help my situation.

My shock / strut replacement has fully snowballed into a 2.5 Z3 rack swap, eBay control arm replacement, M3 master cylinder, new wheel bearings all around, replacement of every piece of suspension related rubber, and new axles. I found a set with a warranty on car-parts.com.

Look at the combination of tools in this mess!

[iamsam]

^^ that's how we roll man!!!

[Bishop]

Looks like a fun time

A 2-jaw puller works really well for pulling the lollipops off the control arms. For your future reference. :)

..and a little motor oil and a lighter help put them on! ;)

[Bimmerman325i]

Even if the engines don't explode or the tail doesn't fall off, it doesn't mean that you're safe anywhere near an A380...

So I've been looking on r3v for a while, but can't seem to find the answer. Anybody know how to tell if you have Girling or ATE brake calipers? I'm looking to replace my pads, and apparently the pads differ on the two different types of brake calipers.
