Looks real to me. They are NLA from Alpina. Values on Ebay tend to be random,how much did you pay ?

it felt light, hence why i thought its ebay special, kang if your interested make me an offer, i dont really need it, i was after the steering wheel, but turned out to be not as good as i thought... but thats ebay for you...

thats not worth much surely these used to be £38 new when i bought one about five years ago they are a nice shape and better to use than the standard knob.

I still have 3 of the 5 I bought new in 2005 for £22 each !

Alpina owners are generally sad paedos and as these are no longer available, they are quite sought after. I have seen Ebay auctions ending at £50 and £100.

You saucy git, you played the market very well there pete. Should be worth a pretty penny when people are trying to restore their alpina and want everything to be NOS.
How much would you let one go for now?

it's nice to know

Jack pm me a price, i can't be the seller and the buyer

I've bid on a few of these and they all went for £90 +

Not worth it for me as I'd be bastardising one (removing the alpina emblem)

thats fooked though, i'd like to see someone change the alpina emblem without damaging it.
