Just another E30 build.... (a.k.a. The Bronzit B*tch)

[K-Line]

Just working on some little things since im waiting for the car to go to our friends to fix the rust, but i did find a way to make those gauges work. I forgot just how thick the carpet is, so i cut it out underneath and it gave me like an inch! Also going to use elbows for even more clearence.




Also was test fitting to see what size adapters I'll need, i think im going to run 18mm in the front and 20mm in the rear

The gauges do look great on the console. Maybe you could get some plasticine or fibreglass and mold them up a little higher on an angle? If you've never worked with the stuff its insanely simple and efficient. Especially after watching countless hours of youtube videos. Whatever you wind up doing im sure it'll look great.

Was thinking of places to put my gauges, had an extra center console so i figured i would try it. love the look and fitment but the gauges are too deep and hit the tunnel..... which sucks. ill see if there is anyway to get it to work

Ah, didn't realize that.

Still looks like a great finish on the faces! Can't wait to see them mounted.

Thanks dude, yours look mint too!

Nope the 16s are 36 hole, I havent been able to find any from DPor any other manufacturer. I could always get them custom but thats big money

I think that they might just use standard 40 bolt lips and barrels? Mine are 17s, so maybe they're different. 17x8.5 et18 all around.

Good looking build! I just threw a set of Enduro 3s on my E36 M3. What size are yours?

Got everything but my front struts in today! So stoaked that things are finally coming together and i wont have to worry about oil pans on the terrible upstate NY roads.

Super happy with the quality or AccuAir's products, everything has a nice weight to it and just feels solid.

Let me know how you figure out the height placement for the air struts when placing them on the previous ones. I've always been curious how to determine it.

Well the front struts that I went with are the Airlift Performance series, there different than the universal style ones that ive seen most people use. You weld on a threaded sleeve to the hub and then you just spin the whole strut up and down to adjust it. Much better setup IMO
