What wheels look good on a BMW M3 E36? Finishes colour-by-colour

Fit gets you rolling — finish is what makes a BMW M3 E36 look right. Every wheel below is confirmed to fit yours (5×120 PCD, 72.6mm bore); the call on colour is where we earn our keep — it leaves the factory in Alpine White II, Alpine White III, Mugello Red, Brilliant Red and more — here’s what we’d run on each. Crumpsall Alloys supply and fit from our Manchester workshop, free fitting available.

Alpine White II M3?

A BMW M3 E36 in Alpine White II, we’d run gloss black — gloss black is the sharpest contrast there is — a white car on black always looks deliberate, never accidental; or bronze — bronze warms a white car right up and reads aggressive without having to shout about it.
