Hey all....
Well my cousin smashed the front of my trusty old 1984 BMW 318i. She wanted to have it towed to the wrecking yard....I said no way! I want to try and salvage anything I can from it. I loved that car...it had tinted windows, chrome rims and a sunroof...blaupunkt....sigh....
So...the rims on the bmw are 4 lug....nice chrome 14's.....Im wondering if I can swap them onto my 89 accord.
And the front seats in the bmw are Recaro's. Sure would be more comfy then the stock seats in my accord...can I swap em?
Anyone else got any creative ideas?

I'm sure you could swap the seats, but you will need to fabricate custom rails for them.
As for the wheels, I'm not sure. Check the offset on them and see if it's the same for the accord.

german wheels are very weird....they use bolts instead of lug nuts, etc...so i have no idea if those would fit...the only way to check is to actually do it. seats should work just fine, youll justt need to get rails made....perhaps you could use stock rails, and attach them to the BMW seat
