But my wife was unwilling to commit to giving up her garage space for a wrecked car to live there indefinitely. And the HOA won't let me part out a car in the driveway (what goes on inside my garage is none of their business, AFAIAC). So it would have cost me more money to store the wrecked car while parting it out. Again, not a great option. Anyway, under the right circumstances I would have loved to own that car. I hope someone here buys it and keeps it in the family.

Those offsets are different because the wheel widths are different. Comparing the offset difference for a 1/2" (12.7mm) width difference is ~6mm, and BMW wheel specs for the E46 bear this out, as 17x7.5"ers (eg. Style 68M fronts) are ET41. Are you sure the 17x8ET47s rub on a E36? I've seen a lot of this combination running spacerless over the years. Can't speak for E36s, but with et34 for 8", et37 for 8.5" as Rob says, those should work without fender rolling on a E46 that's not severely lowered and not trying to run fat, square-shouldered 255s.

For most people it does not make any sense to have anything but liability insurance on inexpensive cars. My Dad always said if you have the cash to cover the loss it usually (but not "always") does not make sense to pay for insurance. I have friends paying over $500 a year to cover cars like 2002s worth $3K that are not high theft targets and I laugh at the people that pay $5 to "insure" a $29 CD player at Best Buy...
