Official Spring 2009 Smoky Mountain BMW Rally

used e30 tie-rods, BMW factory ones. I wondered the same thing about e36 tie-rods, are they slimmer? or what happens?

Use the E36 tie rods and that should fix your problem.

I have brand new e30 rods and car was aligned. I'd rather get new wheels, hehe.

I also had e30 and e36 rods side by side, they seem to be exactly the same, which confuses me, wondering what I did wrong.

I was up at blood mountain a few hours ago, no cops in sight. good luck on your run

If anyone is in that area, I'd send money to pick them up. It's not too far from where we're camping either.

They are not the same at all. The E30 tie rods are much more straight than the E36 tie rods.

i meant joint thickness, not rod shape. now about me sending you doguh to get me those 330CI wheels?

Wheels

If you still need someone to pick them up for you let me know.

They are the same thickness but IIRC something to due with how the E36 tie rods are keeps them from rubbing the bigger wheels.

[Aptyp]

yeah, I had car jacked up today to see if I screwed up, and everything sits solid. Bigger wheels will fix this tiny issue. Also since I've been running e36 bottle caps with e36 tires, I'm having a little bit for a rub on the inside, that will be taken care of very shortly as well.



If you could, I'd love to have those wheels. I'd paypal money to get those.

[Aptyp]

anyone?

[dinanm3atl]

Where at? Tenn I am assuming?

[Aptyp]

yeah those 330ci wheels are the tits.

my other option is

I may pick these up this week if 330cis sell off.

PM Fireman he can get them for you and they will be at the rally... He is local in Ktown...

[Aptyp]

i did, I call that guys and he's meeting someone to sell wheels today :(

Search continues, don't want to be at the rally on bottle caps, or do I?

Stevie30, I missed you at the VaV! Looked, but did not find, but I did see your car. The new interiour gave a seizure, btw

Art: I would rock the e36 caps, I really would
