E46 bolt pattern.

Does anyone know if the bolt pattern is the same across all the m3 vehicles. More specifically e46 to f80

Bolt pattern is the same. On a related note, the actual bolts themselves use a different seat and thread pitch.

So if I wanted to put the f80 rims on the e46 I would have to change the studs?

what ? they are both conical, in fact all factory wheels are... and yes the lug size was 12x1.5 and now the are 14x1.25 to answer that questions correctly..

but to answer your main question the bolt pattern is the same.. 5x120 please give us off set and width of the wheels and we can give you a full answer to your questions if you are looking to fit e46 wheels to a f8x....

No you all you need to do is used the same lug bolts on the e46 stock wheels (please make sure they are Conical Bolts) Factory bolts are all Conical FYI

Yup. I was wrong (I got confused). Seat is same. Thread pitch as stated is different.
