Title: Newbie from South Africa
Post by: Mr Spliffy on January 12, 2010, 11:39:39 PM

Howzit everyone, I've just joined from Cape Town South Africa. I'm on the e30clubsa.co.za forum and love the E30, also happen to be a fan of high revving NA tuned 4cylinder motors. I have a 1991 318i M40 and I'm seriously thinking about doing a conversion to M42 using the E36's M42. I joined this site to get more info, hope you guys don't mind.
Kind Regards -Spliffy

Yep! I really like the 15" BBS "basket weaves" you guys have in 4 hole fitment. A very dificult find over here. Other favourite is 16" original Alpina's, I don't know why I like these "hard to get" wheels!

You guys have some lovely cars on this forum.

I keep looking for them too...I have a set of 14" weaves but they're pretty ugly.  The 15" basket weaves off the iX are the wrong offset and it seems the OEM BBS 15x6 are EU-only, unless it was some rare US option.  I've never laid eyes on a set.
