OK it looked pretty normal until I saw what look like BBS LM's (yes/no?) and it's 5 stud. I thought all E30's were 4 stud minus the M3's and the odd special - Alpina, etc

Possibly been converted?

Yea, must have been converted Simon. Like you said, all were four stud apart from the M3.

Don't know about the LM's. Do look suspiciously like them. Sh*tty offset though.

Also 2 door and manual, and looks to be pretty tidy.

Put your Tech2 and 325i motor in it Jamez :P

And in english that means what Mitch?

If your hunting for your first car or first e30, this would be a good start :D

And by kids, he is implying that we are all younger than him .

Once you go E30 you never go back,

Right?

Certainly look like LM's, and thats a BBS logo on the centre cap.

Very nice buy - owner is either realistic, or doesn't know what he has as parted out that'd be worth a fair bit more than the asking.

The LM's have same laaaaaaaaaame as outer barrels, would probably affect what they're worth. $$$ to change the barrels.

High offset LM's, like over 50 I'd suggest - Probably gotta be 25mm of adaptor on there too!

My LM's are et38, and don't look nearly as retarded on an E30 as those do.

You can undo all the bolts and put the face behind the mounting lip, for a lower offset which looks way cooler.

That's at least 3 E30's in NZ running LM's now! Common as muck on a stray dog - Glen/Myself (same set of wheels), Ollie and now this guy. Any more?

Outer barrel? LM's are only 2 piece.

I stand corrected! :blink: Have always thought LM's were 3 piece...

So what in the world were those LM's made for? :wacko: 5x120 (assuming) but in 50+ offset?

edit: Would be amusing if the e30 was actually a standard 4 stud, but with 4x100 to 5x114.3/100 adaptors :lol: I have seen Subaru's and Altezza's with LM's
