wasnt m3 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited March 8, 2012 by wasnt m3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Okay. Ill have to check it out. Or else ill just have to order them from junkyards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick.e46.330i. Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 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?!?!

Ryan... Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Epic motor indeed! 6 speed too? I've heard the swap is a huge PITA in regards to the wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.e46.330i. Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 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... Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Absolutely man! I believe once you get all the wiring done, the swap would probably be pretty straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
