my 330i

[wasnt m3]

I have a set ot 17x8's (530i sport). They don't come up for sale very often, especially staggered. There's usually a set or 2 for sale on chicago craiglist any given time.

[nick.e46.330i.]

Okay. Ill have to check it out. Or else ill just have to order them from junkyards.

[wasnt m3]

You know that they made the 17x8's in one piece and two piece, right? Both have the bolts, so in pictures they look identical.

I got the 17x8. I need the 17x9.

[nick.e46.330i.]

went to the junk yard today. asked about some m3 stuff. and now i think im gonna end up doing an s54 swap into the 330. they have everything needed for the swap there.

opinions?!?!

Epic motor indeed! 6 speed too?

I've heard the swap is a huge PITA in regards to the wiring?

[nick.e46.330i.]

yea it would be 6 speed too. i havent looked too far into it. but what i have read was id need to do rear sub frame asy, wiring, and ecu for sure. and its not the easiest sway. but i bet it would be one of the most rewarding!

[Ryan...]

Absolutely man! I believe once you get all the wiring done, the swap would probably be pretty straight forward.

How much?

[Earl]

It its diamond they want $4000 for the driveline and I'm no sure how much else for harnesses and such

[alexw]

That's cheap.

[wasnt m3]

If you're really planning on the swap you better go get that motor. Not gonna last long priced like that, especially now that everyone viewing this site knows about it.

[nick.e46.330i.]

yea. but i dont got money but they got like 4 there too

[Earl]

I thought they only had one? They never emailed me back about e36 parts I emailed them about a few times last week.

[nick.e46.330i.]

i asked them to look on their computer to see what they all have

[nick.e46.330i.]

picked up some style 5's off of a guy from craigslist today for $300. gonna be refinishing them. hopefully they will be done before eurohanger!

[nick.e46.330i.]

put them on to see what they'd look like.

[Earl]

If theyre clean id leave them original. You have no idea how ungodly the clear is. And polishing the lips takes a million years to do lol Also, make sure not to ruin any nuts or bolts. They're expensive to replace. $250 FPR bolts and $75 for nuts

[nick.e46.330i.]

I got flap wheels to take the clear off and I'm not gonna polish the lips.
