The Paint job

Here are some pictures of the car being primed and painted.

i went with the A300 color code



E30 M3 Wheel Choice

Came across a set of BBS RC wheels over a year ago and kept them stored at a friend's place for till last week. I had one wheel mounted on the car to check for fitment issue.

Apparently  the tyre size i used is 235/45/18, yes they are 18'' wheels...

Basically the width of the wheel was perfect, 235 seems excellent and doesn't stick out nor touch the springs. However, the height seems to be a little bit high for the wheel arc diameter, The front wheel touches the back end of the fender arch from the door side.



Current set of wheels


Notice how the rear side of the wheel touches the edge of the fender
