Hey guys, Thinking about getting 15mm BMS Spacers...

Curious to see what everyone has and what they think of theirs also pics are good hahah

[matthibodeau]

ECS Tuning Provides a great spacer OR H&R.. just make sure you get the longer bolts to compensate for the spacer. Ive never actually seen anyone use BMS here, but we are also 2 different countries far away haha, might be more popular in your area?

I have 12mm.... they are pretty good and come with the bolts too.... I mean there is not that much science it's just a piece of machined aluminum

This really should be posted in this subforum. Just sayin'. (as I tend to do).

Forum discipline, folks, makes things easier for everyone.

Definitely right, been a long day i didn't think to check before posting will make sure post in correct sub forms next time hahaha

I'm just going to say this once (unless a moderator compels me to say this again for something like a Sticky):

Your "general" 2 Series owner isn't interested in spacers. It is not a "general" question about our cars. On the other hand, though this post about radio reception arguably belongs in the Nav/iDrive/Audio/Electronics subforum, the "general" owner would likely be interested in its content.

That's where one should draw the line.

I've participated in online forums since 1993. (Yes, they've been around that long.) I've been a moderator for two forums before -- one of which was very narrow in its participation, the other of which was even broader than this one. In both cases, forum discipline was far, far better than here.

Furthermore, I've been a participant in the following vehicle enthusiast forums:
- NASIOC
- VWVortex
- NorthAmericanMotoring
- The370z
- ClubLexus
- 8thGenCivic
- CRZforum
- several motorcycle-related forums

With the exception of ClubLexus (which is a mess) and 8thgenCivic (also a mess), all practiced forum posting discipline quite well -- even sites such as NASIOC, which has a TON of trolls and douches on it.

Why is it important? Searchability and decorum. Making search easier for forum vets and noobs alike makes the site more use-able, the conversations more valuable, and the experience more pleasant and just plain easier.

For instance: someone searching for good hub spacers for our cars is likely already fairly knowledgeable about wheels -- not necessarily about their 2 Series as a whole. So they almost certainly will know that the best place to look for info is the Wheels and Tires subforum. They won't even think of searching the General forum unless they don't find what they're looking for in the first place they look.

Guess what the first rule in Internet usage is? Minimize the steps needed to get to what you want. Too many steps means frustration and disconnection. Posting something that isn't "general" in the General subforum adds steps for most to find or participate in. What will happen? People will stop using this forum. Simple as that.

Snicker, laugh, sneer all you want, 2Banger . You're doing it wrong. A lot of you are. Just sayin'.

Thank you for your time.

It clearly includes spacers in the subject matter to be dealt with in the wheels and tires sub forum. Maybe the script is hard to see on a small electronic device.

[tenfour]

know someone who has apex spacers and had no issues with them. don't think you can really go wrong. just never go universal and get hubcentric spacers. also, get the proper bolt lengths.

[1LegitM235i]

Go with ECS tuning. They come with extended bolts and then some. After all the bolts were installed I still had another full set leftover.

+1 I got them all around, 5mm front, 12.5mm rear. Good quality and fit perfectly.

[tenfour]

I've had ECS spacers as well and they were great.

Only problem is, I'm in Hawaii and shipping costs to here are ridiculous. I can't imagine what shipping costs would be overseas.

Rogue engineering make good ones.
And if you want them as light as possible they have these

[Anthony235]

Any of the reputable ones will be fine including the BMS ones. Just make sure they are hubcentric and you have the extended lug bolts if going 10mm+.

I run a 20mm spacer from H&R right now.

[robman23]

I went with Apex. The spacers and bolts are very high quality. Very good at answering questions also.
Good Luck
