You can buy them in 4 stud as well. I decided on a similar mag instead. It is also a 5 spoke. Im happy so thats the main thinglololol. (Until I find my 15in basket weaves)

deborah, that be me, I attached my nic to it though. thanks no Im not a chick, my wife is, (well I hope she is.)

I got the Bentley, I would rank it as one of the better manuals to buy.

Just did mine it will be under tHrEEtWoFiVe.

oKEDOKE just let us know when to pay, and who and where.

Im good to go, Just let me know where to pay.

Yep count me in.

OMG

Why not, and what do you recommend?

I can get these at a nice price in 16x7. What you think.

I could be interested.

I got nothing against the turbo idea, just not my thing. Been there done that.

M30 AFM, Bore out throttle body, Larger injectors, adjustable fuel preasure reg. Cold air box, and your fancy pants airfilter. Then your make some gains. Couple that up to a custom chip, and away you go.

Hang on, you drive a Honda, LMAO. why am I even discussing this with you.

No Im telling you that synthetic oil is no longer made up polyalphaolefins, instead it is made up of hydroprocessed mineral oil.So INFACT is it synthetic. There are oils out there that are truly synthetic. Just not most of them.So when you go and pay more for a synthetic oil, you are really buying a highly refined mineral oil. Nothing wrong with that, JUST it AINT synthetic. Before anyone starts really getting into the nitty gritty, I am talking very broadly here.

LOL, Im sorry if you never heard about it. It was quite big in the oil/synthetic market. Next time they should let you know. Dude it was a pretty big uproar in the oil industry. Regarding the fact Castrol had switched from using polyalphaolefins to using hydroprocessed mineral oil. Unfortunatly for the consumer the ruling body let it go, GUESS what, all your Castrol oil is NOT a true synthetic. Most engine oils are not. Hence we get fed these stickers on oils saying Semi/ Fully synthetic. Alot of it is crap. Regarding your statement that you change your oil every 5000 km. Excellent, but that is exactly my point if you change your oil on a reg basis there really is no benefit to paying more money for a synthetic oil. Synthetic oil does hold up better, BUT what they dont tell you in there fancy pants ads. Is that no matter what oil it is, the dirt from intake etc ends up in the oil filter, (So that still requires changing) Plus the combustion byproducts find there way into the oil. Which really lead to requiring replacement. All oils have detergents, and additives which enhance the quality of the products. Mineral oils have some of the best. Dont get me wrong a synthetic oil is a wonderful product, but the word synthetic is not what it use to be. So why pay more. Magnetec is a great oil, I just dont feel its a better oil than some mineral oils. I dont believe it is available in the USA because of misinformation regarding what the product can do and what it says it can do. You might want to ask Castrol about that, lolol. They ussually go very quiet on the matter. http://www.1st-in-synthetics.com/articles7.htm http://www.1st-in-synthetics.com/articles5.htm http://www.1st-in-synthetics.com/newsletter_1000.htm http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/i...&additives.html This one below has another article regarding Castrols change to the oil. This change was done to there whole range of oil. http://www.f150online.com/forums/archive/t...pic/4996-1.html I better stop raving.

Oh and by the way, I would not underestimate a GOOD quality mineral oil. Guess what about your magnetec? Its a real stretch to say its a semi syn oil anyway. Infact I believe from memory Castrol got in the poo for calling it one. Most syn oils come from mineral oil anyway. lol. Dont get me wrong I think syn oils are great, but not well suited to M20 engines.

LOL, Syn oils are overrated. As I said before this is not a multivalve engine, it does not run the close tolerances that many a late model engine is running. Ask any engine workshop what they would recommend for the M20 engine. Oh and syn based oils have been around alongtime. My car was built in 1987, yes the M20 design is old, BUT they have not changed the recomendation for the oil. Syn were around in 1987. Are you saying if you run a syn oil, you will leave it in the engine longer? NICE. lolololol.

Well Ive only done 300 kms on my full rebuild, but Im using Penzoil GT 20w 50. I dont see any point in switching to a syn oil. The engine was not built with it in mind by BMW. Plus I will be changin oil every 5000 kms, if not less. I see no benefits, especially on a engine that is not multi valve and does not run close tolerances.

Loctite the studs in.

What size, and if you dont mind me asking how sweet a deal?

Im very interested in what you come up with. Im going to give up on finding some basketweaves. (Ill just keep it in mind to grab them if I ever see a set) Im after 15 or 16s, but nothing stupid. How much were the simmons wheels.

Generawlly around the 30 - 38 psi range should be fine.

I unbolted the housing from the block. If that helps.

So any one here tried replacing these buggers yet. Yeah Im talkin to the old E30's peeps. Next question Im after a 325is front valance etc, wheres the best place to look.
