I'm not sure, however the closest I can imagine would be to use e36 bottlecaps as I think they might be 5x120 im not sure dislike e36s a Lil:cartel: I for one haven't seen a set made and I'd imagine they would look a little less appealing as they are 15s and you'd lose an inch of Shiney lip.
I recall someone wanting to sell 5x120 bottlecaps in 14s when I had the idea as it has a bigger lip or something but I said no thanks. Think it was off a e28 5 series. Don't quote me on that though:hammerhead:
Google has an e36 with bottlecaps that have been done but I think those were three piece wheels lemme go check
Ok so it's been a while since I even posted anything but since the last time I recently fitted a 3.64 limited slip differential to the car so I can have fun with the car on the skidpan with buddies as well as when I'm gonna change tyres.... Or just so I can have fun...
Car has lost acceleration but atleast she isn't as heavy on juice like she was and I get a few more meters for my money hehehe. Besides... Compared to today's cars this isn't an acceleration game anymore... But I get to go sideways.
Please forgive me for spinning if you're against it. My car is not a spin car and it has the 17s on which I never spin. And I dont even have tyres left now lol... Most fun I've had in a very long time
Here are a few pics together with the video of me testing the differential once I was done fitting it. Did it myself BTW and I'm clueless about these things but YouTube helped me out.

Eish, do you really wanna spend your weekends always fixing this and that.
Why not try sourcing a M20 stroker?
Now this is the old man in me talking, how fast do you want your car to be?
Is there another BMW that has the power you are looking for and how much is it? If yes and its price is similar to the cost of the conversion, I would just buy the faster car and enjoy it.
Apologies for derailing.

If you buy the 34 525 engine you don't need to change the sump.
I'm at a crossroad, it's fix a car that's already perfect running or make it faster which by now is a need.
There's an m50b25 technical update motor for sale and it includes alles... Sump etc etc etc perfect for conversion, but it's just that I don't trust mechanics giving them all my bits and pieces saying do the swop for me.
Been speaking to the girlfriend and she's approved of 15k as a budget, but m50 swops can go to 30k easily.
Maybe I should just take 15k and make the car run like new again... Not the fun option but the safer option
