Guinness posted:Pretty sure the offset and possibly even the hub bore (depending on which gen of 5er they are from) are incorrect for an E36. Hub bore can possibly be corrected if those are e39 wheels, offset is iffy. But really, style 134s? The ones that a billion 5 series came with?

I figured I'd have to run rings or spacers. I'm worried about them poking out from the wheel really.

Guinness posted:Pretty sure the offset is way wrong on those. E36 factory wheels are ET47, and E60 (presumably, since style 134) are ET20. Not sure, but they will probably rub on your fenders. The hub bore might be different as well, but not sure about the E36 - I know the E34 had a smaller hub bore than the E39 and needed hubcentric rings to fit E39 wheels without vibrations at highway speeds. These are 16x8 +20  I think 16x7 +20 will be more than okay offset wise.

 These? In my opinion, one of the ugliest rims in the style catalog. I'm sure you can find something much better looking with the right offset. Lowclock fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jul 31, 2012 |

Just get a set of E46 wheels; they use the same offsets and whatnot as the E36 does, plus the E46 had all kinds of awesome-looking choices. Thus might just be my own bias, but how about an E36 on Style 79s?

Asking for the offsets now. Fit nice on a 46 M3. Front 8,5/19 Rear 9,5/19 So I THINK it'll be possible with a little spacer on each.

Already missing my 330Ci terribly, and I just landed a new job, however my credit is pretty awful (although I have zero debt). If I slap down enough cash (say $5,000-7000) to lease a new 328i, would credit mater as much, or am I completely hosed and going to have to suck it up and wait years for my score to increase?

I dunno I think they're alright, plus they are functional. I'm waffling. I don't need them and the price is 200, talked down from 400 to 250. They come with tires that I would probably use for a thousand miles just to save money until I get some new rubber. Maybe summer tires and then use the original set for all-seasons or winter tires.

Seeing how there is a bunch of wheel talk... http://ames.craigslist.org/pts/3156835540.html These came off an 07 BMW 550i. I know I am asking the obvious, but these should fit on my 06 550i no problem right? And then... http://www.bavariantechnic.com/ Does any one have this tool? I am looking at buying one, it would be super helpful for my e60 in getting rid of the stupid inspection notice and other things I do myself. I have this zanny idea of buying an older E38 with a "bad ABS module" I think its just a wheel sensor. Its a dirt cheap car, and I could flip it easy.

Alarbus posted:E90, AWD sport package, went with Conti Extreme Contact DWS, and it's been great. Not as grippy or firm as the Conti ProContactSport 2s, but pretty good. Noticeably smoother ride than my Dad's E92 with the OEM runflats. He had the really noisy ones they swapped for the alternative, which don't sound as back. Agree with all of that and just wanted add that Conti extreme contacts are amazing. I had been running Michelin pilot sports on my e46 and switched to them when I was jobless and money was tight. They seemed to have 90% of the grip the pilot sports had for quite a bit less money. I found them quieter to boot.

I bought some Conti Extreme DW's back in Feb when Tirerack was whoring them out and I agree that they are drat good. I could gripe that I find them lumpy as poo poo in the winter (under 40 degrees) until they warm up for a few miles - but it's not a major annoyance.

I used to run DWSes back on my previous E46 year-round and I never had a moment where I regretted buying them. They carried me through two winters with no issues and never let me down in the summers. I have Kumho Ecsta LE Sports on right now- dedicated summer performance tires- and honestly I think I liked the DWSes better overall even as a summer tire. They were nearly as good in the dry and way better in the wet, and obviously I can't use these in the winter at all. I recommend them to everyone I know who wants all-seasons.

I have Blizzaks for the winter, since I was doing a 70 mile round trip commute each day in Vermont. Those feel like absolute crap on dry pavement, but are awesome in the snow. My perspective of the DWS is biased in cold, dry weather, since I thought they were fine. I have both plugs and the slime crap in my trunk, but I also don't have TPMS, so if I have to use it, I don't have to replace MORE crap.

Okay, I need some help here. I'm installing single-bulb low beam ellipsoid headlights and I'm trying to wire the current so that my high beams don't turn off my low beams. Initially I jumped Pin 30 to Pin 30 on the High/Low relays but for some reason that turned my ignition on. I still can't figure that one out  HOW IS POWER GETTING TO THE HOT IN RUN OR START THERE?! All I need is a switched 12v source to Pin 30 on the low beam relay at all times, and I can easily accomplish that, but I want to know why my ignition is kicking on when I jump 30-30 with the key off. Wiring Diagram below.

So after I got my 330ci back from the bodyshop after the left rear panel was replaced I washed it and water got into the rear left tail light housing so I went back and had them replace it assuming it was cracked somewhere due to the original impact. Washed it again a few days ago and WELP theres water in this brand new tail light again.  Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Beach Bum posted:How would you go about doing that? The pin sockets are about a quarter inch apart. I bet that diagram is actually wrong and one is switched or something. I would say just bridge the 30's and make sure to disconnect one of the original ones, but that's too much current for 1 wire. If just jumping 30-87a does the same thing or doesn't work, just leave it alone. Having them both on at the same time isn't going to really help you see better.

The trunk lid isn't sealing properly now or the light was installed improperly (I THINK that one uses strip caulk or similar). My bet is on the trunk. Take a look.....I bet the rubber is messed up where it goes near the light or somewhere higher on the trunk seal or they didn't get the new panel piece lined up properly. Look for water on your trunk carpeting.

So, I was in Detroit at my company HQ yesterday. One of the employees up there has an E39, post-facelift, and I noticed it had a really nice looking roof rack on it.  I should note that my company, in addition to making hitches and stuff, makes Rola roof racks. I inquired, and it's not even released yet - it will be in about a month. I'm gonna try to get a 'sample.'

Last night I stopped by the local dealer to drive an F30, expecting to be blown away. The E90 cars are great, the first time I drove one it felt like I'd owned one for years, the steering in them is amazing. The interior is simple but classy. The F30, not so much. Auto start stop and regen braking are both stupid and intrusive, it feels bigger, the steering is too light and the visibility is not as good. It seems like every single change they made was either to improve fuel economy or make larger people more comfortable. The interior, while full of all kinds of technology, didn't seem quite up to par. The HVAC controls look like the ones that come in a VW golf. The 4cyl turbo and 8 speed auto worked well together. It was a bizarre experience.

So I picked up my beautiful blue e39 540i 6-speed, and it's not quite working out to be the dream I expected. I knew the MID pixels were going, but now the Nav computer is going exactly as described here. But only sometimes. THEN, it also threw a code 24 hours after picking it up, PO171 and I'm getting hesitant acceleration. I wasn't provided with paperwork from a recent smog check, so I can totally go after the guy, but I'm going to replace the fuel filter first and hope that does it. It was last replaced in October of '07 and 28k miles ago, which seems fairly recent for this much fuel pressure blockage. If that doesn't fix it, then I'm sure I'd have to take him to court to get back the $$ spent allowing it to pass smog, which obviously is messy. The good thing is, is the interior and exterior are just so damned pretty, and when I'm not trying to gun it, the engine sounds lovely and drive so smooth. With a little work it'll be a fantastic car I think. E: Here's a crappy cell pic of it in it's natural habitat

Sucks to hear about your E39 man. They are good cars when you get the niggly bits worked out. I think these cars about as reliable as the E34 chassis. I am not gonna lie here. I hate the new F30. I drove one yesterday while my car was getting its free wash at the dealer (I love how they do that), and the drat thing felt kinda... not BMW. Maybe its me, I don't know, I just can't place my finger on it. Why does that 2000 540i keep tempting by popping up to the top of craigslist every day.

I'm on the verge of doing something either totally awesome, or completely retarded. I was looking at this 97 hellrot m3 sedan:     quote:2010 to present: 220000km, but the maintenance history the past couple years is pretty drat good. No rust, good paint, and even the seat bolsters appear to be in good condition. Only real mods to speak of are KW V2 coilovers, and SS brakelines. The kicker? 15k canadian, and probably can't get him any lower. One the one hand, rustfree e36 m3s are all but nonexistant where I live (Nova scotia) and it has decent history. On the other hand, it's a pretty steep price for the mileage. I'd essentially have an m3 with close to 250,000km in a couple years. I could also buy something completely ridiculous with that money: http://wwwb.autotrader.ca/a/BMW/M/MISSISSAUGA/Ontario/19_5912071_/?showcpo=ShowCPO Crustashio fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Aug 3, 2012 |

Honestly, it's a fair price for that level of maintenance. If you like the color, I wouldn't pass it up. E: KW V2s are very comfortable as far as adjustable damping coil overs go. They're not durable enough for frequent track usage, but for street applications they're excellent. Not to mention that you can raise the car if you want.
