m42b32 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Maybe not 'rare' but still fairly difficult to find in 17"/E36 fitment, they're one of my favorite OEM wheel options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can call them Very Difficult to find. When you look up "Style 32 17x7.5 17x8.5 +41" on google the top site is Wibimmers.

Rekpoint Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Anyway. I made a DIY clutch stop today. Just as simple as a 3/8 -16 x 1-1/2 Elevator Bolt, nut and chair foot grip thing.

B C Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 What keeps the elevator bolt from just falling out? will you tack weld the nut to the floor/firewall? I was thinking about making one but haven't looked into it much yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about making one but haven't looked into it much yet. It literally just screws in. I could add some loctite but it should be fine for now.

Earl Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 So you're saying that they used a Standard threaded boss in the floor of our cars? B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 There, I got to use the "confused" reaction. Its either just a plain hole that lets the screw act like a self-tapping sheetmetal screw, or the Germans are trolling us hard.

The elevator bolt cleanly threaded in and out. I'll grab a picture later. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Picked these up today. They we're for sale on the fourn awhile back I guess nobody bought them. He said he was getting hit up from all over the US for people wanting to buy them and ship them. He included some free M3 trim to see if I can salvage them. The plastic ridges on the back of the trim are rotten. Anyone have an idea on how to mount them without damaging my paint? I was thinking along the lines of 3m tape or some sort of adhesive.

Rekpoint Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Drove 4 hours to get this. 5 minutes before I got there he accidentally dropped it so I got a discount and he tig welded it back up. I'd say I got a good deal...Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk P_Roloff and Jdesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Well that didn't last long.... I didn't prime it... I was convinced by my dad to get it professionally sprayed. Going to go around to local body shops tomorrow afternoon to get quotes for the bumper. Anyone know what A good quote would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 $200-$350ish Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Yea something that size is probably $250 - $300. Take the whole car if possible so they can match the existing paint. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I paid a local buddy $300 to prep, paint, and clear my E90 bumper. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekpoint Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Yep spot on estimates, I went to 2 shops quotes ranging from 250-400. The guy with the 350-400 quote didn't seem very interested. Im going to stop by a few more shops tomorrow and see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
