Seems to keep them clean for quite a while before needing a touch up again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are dam hot aye, have you thought about clear coating your mags to keep the shine? Im sure its been done before. Surely you can get a bigger dish for the rear, but i bet they are dam hard to find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Well finally got my E30 on its ass, as much as i could anyway. Got some Jamex superlows (65mm or something) thanks to Andrew Both front and rear springs were not captive when i put them in until i lowered the car, hope they dont come out due WOF time. Also the front sits slightly higher than the rear which is common ive heard? anyway to fix that other than chopping the springs? Cheers, Luke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drifty325i 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 Your car isnt sitting lower at the back, its just the shape of the rear guards on face lift e30s. They come down lower than the pre face lift models giving the apperance the backs lower. Looks good tho mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Luke Thats why a quite a few people go with an uneven drop. I've gone 60/40 and with a sub box in the boot it sits pretty nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes sense going 60/40 but i like how low it is in the back haha mite just leave it Hope the springs dont fall out when i go for WOF else ill just have to put stock ones back in to get WOF. Just a question about M50 Non Vanos 2.5L motors..... Ian in Welly has a E30 325i motor and gearbox in storage, would the gearbox of it bolt up to the M50 Non Vanos 2.5L motor? pretty much are they compatable or do i need to get a newer box that came with the M50 Motors?

Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Ok so now I got my Rims that I was wanting, Downside they didnt have anywhere near as much dish as I was wanting but still look ok to me. Could only get 7" wide with the 4x100 stud pattern and the offset of this car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah bro they 17's by 7" Wide. The tyres are 17/205/40. I would say any wider wheel than that would have rubbed on the guards in the rear. How wide are the DTM's you are looking at? All you would need is to flare your guards... easy looking bloody nice man ... Thanks man Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 Hey Luke, welcome to Bimmersport. You can read heaps about M50 swaps on overseas forums. I like your little engined E30 you've come across. And sweet wheels, they really suit the location outside KFC Make sure you give it a oil change and a new waterpump! LOL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
