Thanks guys, in the meantime I've added a couple of updates inside: M5 E39 steering wheel with working buttons, M3 illuminated shift knob, M3 instrument cluster (europe). In about 2 weeks I'll swap the tiny engine with a 3.0L M54B30.
**** to bump this old thread but the car looks beautiful with both sets of wheels... What size spacers were you running with the style 5s? Exact stance I want! I too have 8J front and 9J rear style 5s.
I wasn't using any spacers when I've had my style 5s, they were both et20, 8j front and 9j in the back. I'm using now 20mm spacers up front for the BBS RS wheels because they are et40.
In the meantime my e36 has changed almost completely, expect for its looks. It received:
- a 'new' engine, 2.8L with a light flywheel and upgraded software
- new brakes and a new exhaust system
- a 3.15 LSD (actually the entire rear axle was changed)
- new gearbox, clutch and so on.
Basically the technical part has been completely updated, and I think it probably has more than 200 hp right now, I'll test it on a dyno in the next months to see exactly how much power does it have.
The bad part is that the guys who painted my car didn't do a good job at all and after just 3 years I need to repaint it completely again because there's a lot of rust in the lower sides of the doors and rear fenders. Plus after a bad storm the paint on my hood was a little damaged, that's why you'll see a sticker in one of the photos trying to cover up the flaws. Here we go then.

Plus, my e36 received a bigger brother. This is my new daily ride, e46 320d.
