jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 The style 32s look good but would be better in lighter silver IMO. Have you got the covers for the M5 wheels? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted October 28, 2014 grey e28 carpet test fit into empty e24 shell. got most of a black interior sorted , door cards , seats , rear headrests , centre console replacement crack free dash. just need to redye 2 parts and get some adaptors made so I can fit some black leather e46 sport coupe seats in . fitted fog lights back in fixed a few other little things inside . got some replacement bumper chrome parts to sort out the scabby front bumper. incl one new corner section I had in stock and a replacement rear bumper that's not so bent etc manual gearbox kit sitting and waiting to go in need to work on the suspension and brakes too . also looking for a nice condition mtec steering wheel corse spline type , can swap for a later fine spline type if need be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted October 28, 2014 a bit of playing around this afternoon , test fitting e46 sport seats into the e24 the front holes line up , but seat is not quite centred to the steering wheel ( you e30 e36 guys will know all about this std feature in your cars) so I think since I have to make plates so the back holes have somewhere to mount I might as well put the seat in the correct centred postion about 30mm over to the outside might make a few plates to suit e28 ,e24 e30 etc fro e36 or e46 seats etc. but they are so much more comfortable than the std flat rubbish seats that came std with the car.
