Gus 5 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 you hit a curb? cant help ya with a new mag, but check your tie rods (inner and outer), control arms, and if you hit the rear.....trailing arms and subframe....when you get a wheel alignment it can tell you whats out with the rear..good luck!

Grant 4 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Gus is right. From that Pic, you need more than just a new wheel, something is seriously bent under there. Check your control arm and yout tie rods, I think she might need minor surgery. Good luck Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 711 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 oh yeah its gonna be $000's. It was undrivable. Went in yesterday. But i know the repair pple are gonna have trouble finding a wheel. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Gutted mate! Where did you do it in akl? looks like you indersteered, strange for an M325 I can't help you with a mag, perhaps try SD European and Mosen Euro Parts in the 'tron? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 711 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Na it was lazy oversteer, wasnt even fast, or trying, hit the inside kirb, those big rock ones and it caught, and pulledit back. its f**ked underneath Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 to be honest...it shouldnt be 000's.....although it does sound nasty.....is the back wheels damaged at all? cos thats the harder part to do....if you have just damaged the front...at the most you will have to replace: mag control arm control arm bushing (may as well get a pair of e30 m3 control arm bushings while your at it) inner tie rod outer tie rod i cant imagine much more than that unless the body is damaged, which is doesnt look to be, and thats all easy work to do yaself......steering rack should be ok....the mag solution could just be easier to buy another set of 15's......use your current tyres....i really dont know where you would get just one basket weave from (maybe BMW, i think one new would be around 4-500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 If it is just that dent on the outside, chances are the wheel can be fixed. But I'd imagine the control arm and tie rod look pretty banana'ed under there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speedye30 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 (edited) the mag solution could just be easier to buy another set of 15's......use your current tyres....i really dont know where you would get just one basket weave from (maybe BMW, i think one new would be around 4-500 Methinks a wrecker or spares place like mosen or somewhere. So just try to get a wheel from another incomplete set. It's got to be better than buying a new one (unless its an insurance job...) Sorry to see your car messed up there, man.

m325i 711 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 Its an insurance job. It pushed the guard back so you cant open the door. Its a mess underneath, that picture makes it look better too. They said if they cant find one wheel insurance will pay for a new set... But to be honest i dont want new ones. Unless they are those similar bbs ones...

m325i 711 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 I was thinking if my spare was a mag. I doubt it. Full insurance, but $1000 excess. Killer, but what are you gonna do? Funny thing is it was due for a warrent, (doent matter for insure coz had no effect on accident), but i didnt get one b/c the indicator stoped working, (loose connec). The smack from the accident has fixed it! $400 each wheel from Team Mc, Ex Germany. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
