Hey guys, Well i have been toying with the idea of getting some new wheels for the e30. It is needing something dished and in keeping with its era im thinking. I quite like the hartge wheels felgen garage are offering, however im still undecided on which sort. I have bought a 5 stud rear end for it and in the process of sorting the front out so im not fussed on weather its 4 or 5 stud but id be keen to know what you guys think. I had thought BBS CH, but cant find 17's i think 18's may look to big?? In love with the idea of a 3 piece wheel with a bit of dish. I know some of you guys know some awesome wheels so just interested in what you think will finish my car off. Cheers Sam

I can get some more braketry made up that i used to mount my wilwoods and disks...

Hmmmm wonder if they will clear my brakes...

Nah I swapped in a 4l out of an e39 because I wasn't sure about the ecu's and wiring etc. But when I was doing my research either gearbox will fit onto either motor. Sure mate feel free to pm me.

Well long time since i have made an update. To be honest got a bit sick of the whole thing and had to give it a break. The motor had a run bearing which ment the motor had to come out and swapped it for a lower k one out of an e39, which ment i had to swap all the intake, water pumps, wiring looms, etc over onto the e39 block to get it to work. So while it was out it gave me some good time to do some tidying up of the plumbing, heat wrap the headers, paint the sump and give the new motor a really good clean and pollish inside and out. Upon putting the motor back in i made up some nolathane engine mounts which were 5mm shorter than the e30 ones i was using which gives me more clearance between the top of the engine cover and the bonnet. I also had all the injectors cleaned and new plugs and coils checked which all turned out fine. Got the motor back in and somehow an 02 sensor wire was ripped which shorted it out which then melted the wire right up to the ECU, so made a new wire for it and then it was always missfiring and farting around. Anyways took it to my mate at bmw and he plugged it in and spent a long time checking all the systems were working and trying to diagnose the problem, turns out it has burnt the earth track in the ECU for the o2 sensors, FFS. New ECU is arriving on monday to be fitted and back to BMW to reflash it to manuel and ill be away! Things are finally looking up, its an absolute weapon to drive, the new motor has much more go than the old one did. When i get the new ecu i will make a few videos, but in the mean time i have some average photos of just the exterior for you guys. Henry is going to help me take some awesome ones! haha thanks mate

THats stunning, anyone in chch wanna help take some photos of my v8?
