English is not my first language and at work we deal with millions of acronymns, so could someone explain to me what FTW stands for. Cheers. There is a little model plane on the dash. It is a Junkers 87 Stuka divebomber. It sits there for a reason. If I go around a corner too fast it tips on a wingtip. So, whenever it tips onto a wing I know I am driving too hard!

Foggies are aftermarket. I got them put in when after I crashed it last year. Minor electrical problem with them at the moment: one works and they are acting like parks instead of fogs.

Very rough measurements: outer diameter is about 150mm and diameter of black locking ring is about 60mm. Hope this helps. I have no proper measuring tools at home. If you want it slightly more accurate give a yell. Thanks a lot. Some pictures of what I am looking for.

Yeah it came with the wheels. The only way I want to part with this car is if it gets wrecked beyond recognition. But, if I somehow get persuaded to sell it, I will keep you in mind.

Tried the dealers. They only know of the 15in centre caps. Ride height looks normal but parked up next to a standard E30 you can easily see it is lowered. Previous owner lowered it. Not sure about what it has under it. Shocks are going on it so will replace sprngs when I get around to doing the shocks.

Do you know where I could get centre caps for 14in BBS basketweaves from?

I have been looking for centre caps. Cannot find them anywhere except on a car parked up at work. Stealing is not in my line of work though so I hope that I can find some on here.

Some pictures as promised. I hope this works.

The forum is great. My 316i wont be so very standard much longer though. I got a MTech 2 spoiler coming for it shortly. Should look great with that on there. The proper bodykit will come shortly after that as soon as the car is back to proper height. I don't feel like scraping it every time I go over a bit of a bump.

The clock certainly raises a few questions. People first reckon you idle at 3000 and then they finally click that it is a clock. It is great.

Have small problem with computer sooftware so might be a little while before I have those pictures up.

Just discovered Bimmersport and glad to find others out there who are as enthusiastic about BMW's as myself. I got an 1988 E30 316i/4 at the beginning of last year. The model with the nice big clock on the instrument cluster. Racing red in colour. Accidently crashed it middle of last year but got it patched up again and she still goes strong. Currently it is sitting on lower springs but hope to raise it back to standard height as soon as funds allow. Will try get some pictures up soon.

Looking for a set of four BBS basketweave centre caps. Have been looking all over the place and could not find any. If you have any or know where I can get some, please let me know!

Very keen!!!!
