E36 - My 1st BMW

[X5X]

I also prefer the look with the covers

[l3xxd]

They do look nice without covers. But with the turbines in. They look so period perfect. And I much prefer the look of them in. With the RSs on. There will be plenty of dish so these r always goin to have the covers on once I finish tidying them up.

Sweet Sweet looks good none the less! Really anticipating seeing it with the rs's on still :p

[Mexican]

havent got around to doin the covers yet, been busy at work. sorry!

but yeah, imexited about the RSs also. this is how the front will look.

1.5" Slanted OEM BBS dish.

and the rears will have the 2" slanted OEM BBS lips that James is trialing on his RFs on this pic, and you can see the 1.5 on the RS to compare.

Fitzle, i was at the Blitz, yeah, I was the judge of the best stance if you were there for the awards. turbines goin on after i come back from paris on sunday, leavin in a bit, hadnt put them back on as i ordered brand new hardware for them, as the old bolts were a bit ugly and rusty and i didnt trust them!

[l3xxd]

Sex Sex Sex, really can't wait to see them on now even more than before

[stinkinrich]

dc11?

[Mexican]

Yeah. Will bring it with me.

Thanx guys. Can't wait for these to go on. So exited!

So, another photo of the working progress.


Bit of the powder coating had to be sanded off the back of the centre ring and inside the hub. It all fits nice n flush on that wheel.

When I come back from Paris, I will build the other rear. So then it's just sealing when the nuts arrive.

Week after the faces should be back from the redrill and then those will be built straight away ready for DC hopefully.

Good choice, BBS's look epic on E36's

[Mexican]

yeah man, thanx.

I have owned the RSs for the last 3 years, been on ALL my cars. ha ha!

just never looked this good.
