Alpina Alloys

Post Mon Oct 10, 2005 2:34 pm

Hi All,

Ive just got a 325i touring, and Im after some Alpina alloys for her,

ive seen alot of cars on the site with them and wondered what size and fitting to go for, I would rather not have to do any arch work if possible.

I will be buying secondhand so any sourcing info would be useful too.

Also whats the deal with tourers and body kits? is there an MTEC kit for them>? if so anyone got one for sale?

Doug

Hi Doug, welcome aboard! If you want original Alpinas (16") you may have to look long and hard and pay big money for them. You can buy replicas (17") new for about 550 quid with tyres and 350 ish without. As for body kits, same story i'm afraid. A 4 door M tec 2 kit is as rare as rocking horse sh*te and again will cost big bucks if you do find one. There are plenty of other kits available, breyton seems like a good bet for tourers. Good luck

I really like the originals - are thay actually any lighter that the reps?

Found these original 17s on ebay going cheap - but are 17s

Doug... they're not originals fella. Originals were only 16" for the E30... these 17's are replicas...
