charles28 136 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 I am getting some 16" wheels from Zenetti, black with polished lip, the ones he's getting next month.. I can't help but think that they might suit this car more than my white one. any opinions on that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charles28 136 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Are those jamex lows? the ad on trademe claimed superlow 40mm, but 40mm is more then likely normal low i'd guess. I wouldn't really want it much lower though, its a daily driver, so needs to be able to go.. anywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topcat 11 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 easist upgrade for you is, sell the e30. buy my 750il. never look back . since the missus works for a bmw outlet,the few parts required over time would pale in the background,while you enjoy the man sized car. cheers marty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even a 540i probably wouldn't fit, or it might.. just. I like the old E30's, I could buy a late model car if I wanted, but at this stage i'm happy playing around with old cars.

charles28 136 Report post Posted December 25, 2009 Looks good man. I do like your white E30 more though Hehe am glad you think that, the white one is better in almost everyway, but I don't use it as a daily driver Overall this car is in better condition though, but at the end of the day its still an auto 320i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who through? i was probably the person the OP is talking about saying pickup only, because ive found shipping on large lightweight parts to be expensive and people dont end up paying, so i only really ship dence parts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
