The rear hub is custom made for 5x120.
If I made it again I will keep the 4x100.
It is really hard to find proper fitting 7" wide and nice old school looking wheels

I am thinking to install a ABS system on the car.
I was searching in the internet but not much information with e21 installation ABS.
Anybody has some hint which system can be used?
Somebody told me VW Golf 3 can be put.

as far as i know, there is no aftermarket system available, but dont see why you couldnt incorporate one from another car. im wondering where you would fit this stuff? i have an m50 and theres no room in my engine bay!

i wouldnt advise it, its hugely expensive and will take lots of time, sensors / ecu / brake lines etc etc, and your going to need to check TUV / MOT Test will approve such a modification.

if you lock up whats wrong with punmping the pedal with your foot?

i would hate to even think how to install ABS into the car. you would need an ECU for it, brake speed sensors, the unit, would take ages to install.

Cadence braking. That's all the anti-lock you need.
