New to me M3

Looks like I’ve got some homework to do, I looked it up and CSL’s are 19” wheels, these are 18”’s...gonna give her a good go through this weekend and make a list of what mods she’s got already.

They don't even look remotely like CSL wheels. Apart from them being Y-spoke, like every other wheel, they have nothing in common.

[m3f_Braymond141]

They are a lesser brand replica CSL style wheel. And yes they very much look like CSL wheels although they are very unfitting on this car.



Congrats on the car. Please replace the cheap wheels with something of quality and she’ll look proper again. OEM E36 M3 wheel sets are always a good start.

Does it still have the protective rubber 'seal' under the hold-down clamp?

[m3f_CaptND]

I’ll find out tomorrow when I finally give her a good once over!

From that pic, it does not. Unsure why that matters, the wheel is clearly used and not perfect. Certainly suitable to build a usable DS2 set from though.

[m3f_M_Parallel]

It doesn’t really matter. Was just curious how many are still in old cars.


Now that you say it, the small indent is visible, where you would see it. So that would be no indeed.

[m3f_CaptND]

So cleaning out the trunk and came across these items...

Rust absolutely scares me...don’t know if this is a known problem spot w these cars. I’m sure there is supposed to be a rubber grommet of some sort that plugs the hole that grey drain tube goes through...how bad is it? ( and what’s the black box thing that’s underneath the spare tire w the hoses coming out of it?!

Black box is the charcoal filter.


These electronic thingies are aftermarket.


There should be a grommet in the trunkfloor where the battery vent hose goes through.


Both mine didn’t have the vent hose, I added it later, but neither have any rust.


You’d really have to have battery acid spilled there. On cabrio’s the battery sits in a floating dampened tray and doesn’t sit directly on the chassis (it works as a tuned mass damper).

Thank you for the clarification

Are you going to sell the depo headlights on yours? If so how much?

I am going to eventually sell them but it’s not going to be anytime soon...
