Here’s the reason for you getting the wrong brakes: 1992 was a half year. First half was E30, second was E36. Next time you go to AAP for parts, be sure to tell them you have the M50 (I believe) and not the M20 (I believe). The schmuck behind the counter prolly just selected the M20 as it’s the first option and he was lazy. ---

The schmuck behind the counter prolly just selected the M20 as it’s the first option and he was lazy. Ding ding ding… You are absolutely right my friend. Exactly what happened. It’s partially my fault for not pointing that out to the guy, I would normally do that if there was a chance of confusing 4 lugs with 5 lugs. I just didn’t know at that point about the half year deal. ---

> [@where are you going...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/where-are-you-going/20435/66): > > I was actually thinking the cosmetic work… fender flares and mb battles. Hmmm well I’m not a fan of most flares except for factory jobs. I do like the way some 3s pull off the rolled/pulled look with the low offsets/stretch. Flares seem to be overkill- I do like cars where the whole panel is boxed out from the factory (like in an R32 GT-R, E30 M3, you know what I mean?) Actually I remember being in Mannheim back in the day reading all the tuner mags in the Fatherland while trying to brush up on my German. Every 3’er out there had the ill stretch, but not many had fender flares. One of the other cool things was how lots of the cars on the road were like debadged so you didn’t know if the car in question was packing 6, 8, or 12 cylinders… ---
