Sometimes we already know what we want, we just need somebody to point us toward it.
, but the if i go for 16" I want to get these. I'm trying to get it, but not replys yet.

Then we can still have a msfit look alike even if we don't actually have msfit.

They're some nice parts and I'd be all over them if I had the money.

Any idea what it would have cost to do the S52 OBD-I conversion on the E30 M3? I'm assuming you chose this motor so you could go with the AA kit.

E36 M3 is such a money sink with repairs... most of the previous owners took horrible care of the cars. I probably spent 3k on repairs in the 4 months I had mine, I got so tired of it I went out and bought my Mini... lol. I'm sure you know about the rear subframe ripping off the car, radiators/waterpumps exploding while driving down the freeway normally, and all the other problems that plague E36 BMW's :-P. Not to mention the squishy transmission mounts that cause misshifts galor.
