BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Nice, Very nice. Looks like a good, clean, original E30. :thumb: How about some 15" basketweaves? There was some on Trademe the other day for $900. Or like you said 16" Alpinas will look mint. It doesn't happen to be manual does it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surge 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Nice clean car, Like the rear apron and side skirts. General consensus is 16"s look the best on E30's - I've got 17"s on my project car (came with them) and IMO they look too big for it. Considered colour matching the front and rear bumpers - would sharpen it it a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally agree with this but there are a few 17's that look good, including Alpinas. I tried to buy these (pic of black ragtop) 17's off a guy in the USA (rims only) but getting them here proved a problem. Good luck with finding a set, I would give plenty for a set of them...

Gus 5 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 you can buy the alpina kopis online, abrahams motorsport there another place, that also sells the genuine ones. name escapes me at the moment the kopis as i recall were not ridiculously expensive to get over here......they look good. apparently they a bit heavy...but ah well...look mint! i like 15's on an e30 (basket weave) but i imagine will one day go 17" to fit some massive brakes behind....16's look good. the only prob with having 17's is not enough tyre, and getting punctures.

88318 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Thanks for the fead back i agree that 16" would be the way to go, the car is an auto. its just a cruiser getting layzy as i get older. i would love to convert one to a small BM v8 of some sort. but seems a but brutal to do it this one.

Carl 3 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 I wouldn't call that standard, ACS skirts and rear - although what happen to the front ACS spoiler? Agreed on the 16" rims although the selection is tight. If you're interested in converting it to manual get yourself a manual conversion kit off trademe and give Tim a call Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try to get a pic of them up and if any ones interested then make me an offer. or could even swap for skirts, side and rear :pimp: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool You don't wish you were there now though, trust me. Fuel prices are at over Kiwi $2 a litre there at the moment, according to the BP website. The 3rd highest in the world. America gets the cheapest stuff, funny that. No wonder why they wanted a war with one of the biggest fuel suppliers in the world Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
