Well everyone Im new here.
I bought my 91 318is with 355,XXX miles and a blown motor.
I bought a new motor and started the install. I started it last weekend and should have it done this weekend, had to return a few parts that was wrong and I should have them this week.
I have a big list of parts for this car and I will update soon when everything arrives.
well anways.

Looks clean! Too bad it's not an M42 [/tear]. I bet its fast though, how wide are the rims? and what suspension do you have?

The wheels are 16x8 and Im on cosmos.
I got a better deal on this M50 then I would have on a M42.

good job on the save & transplant!

What brand or type of wheels are those? What are the wheel specs (back spacing, etc)? Are the tires smaller than what is recommended for those rims (just curious because in the one pic, it appears as if the front tire is "stretched" over the rim)...

Good looking w/ black rims against white.
