Default Need longer wheel bolts for BMW E36 - where from?

In typical PassionFord fashion i have a BMW question i need answering

I have an E36 but need longer wheel bolts as wider wheels have been fitted and the OEM bolts do not have enough turns on the thread to be safe IMO.

Where can i get these from?

Dunno mate, I think he's flogged the shop as they've redone the whole highstreet and now he's round the back. Problem is that not a lot of people know this and whenever I've been there he's been closed

Steve is still trading. But due to the rules and regulations he cant treat it as a shop.

Hes only aloud pre arranged appointments rather than people coming to visit unanounced.

Hes normally always there betwwen 10-6 tuesday-saturday. it all looks shut up to comply with the rules of having the land but theres a buzzer on the gate post you can ring.

when ever ive rung him for bits hes always been able to shot down if hes not there.

He does alot of trade off this webdite so its not an issue being tucked away in a shed.

The land owner set the rules. It's because his entrance is between all the houses.
