I just bought a E30 318i M series but i aint to keen on the mags, everyone else is saying there great and ide be stupid to sell them so i just want to know how much they are worth? they are Racing Dynamics ET25 4-lug, 5 Spoke 15inch, from what ive found out they came originally on the E30

They are probably worth $800 to $1000 to an E30 enthusiast if in good condition. The 16in are worth heaps.

To be honest i dont know all that much about bimmers. i saw the car 3 weeks ago, fell in love and bought so feel free to help me out.
the car has the ///M badging and is bodykited. it has lowered suspension 9 degree camber on all fours, extractors and 2 1/4" exhaust, hydraulic clutch and lsd. im not sure if these came out on all E30's or just certain models... please help, i love the car drive great, kicks commodores asses, corners well and if my lsd wasnt due for a service it would drift like ice-cream...only problem is, is know $h!t all about it

I didnt know they made M-tech 318is's. It could ave like an M-tech 1 kit. Perhaps its the '91 318is? Things are so different once you get to like South African and Australian BMWs. Can you post pics of it? That would be easier to decipher what it is and what year and that the kit you have is an M-tech 1or2 cuz you guys did get those (LUCKY BASTARD, LOL!!). LSDs came on certain models. I dont know what extractors are (Im assuming they could be a header system?). Again, sorry for going OT, but I dont know mow much Racing Dynamics are worth. Are they the regular RD soft five spoke ones?

Wow, sounds like you got played. 9 degree's camber? Hydraulic clutch (what other kind would there be, electric?) extractors?

///M badging was added by an ///M3 wannabe. What year is it?

ummm, people. He is in AUS.

THey DID get a late model 318i. It got the M40 in the first year and the M42 the latter. They DID come in mtech2 packages. The camber is all wrong though, it should be -2.5 for the mtech suspension.

As for hydraulic clutch, just remember that other markets did get some horrificly made cars and there is a cable clutch system.

mye30-mtech. Post this on the for sale forum on www.r3vlimited.com. Shipping from Australia to the US is stupid cheap and I know of at least one person who wants those RD wheels if they are real. They cna be fakes, your regulations are different so often you all have identical knock-offs. I would suspect they are real though because "extractors" were also offered by RD back in the day.

and extractors are??

headers, he just speaks funny english.

BTW, if it is an '89 (looks to be from the stuff under his name), it may have a M42. They started building those around '89 (not widely known) for other markets, just not the US.

Pics of the wheels at least would help more for trying to get a price....
