alpina centres

[nadz325i]

hi all

i am after 4x wheel center badges for my alpinas, ive seen quite a few on ebay, i assume these are repllicas, but are they good replicas compared to the original?

or how much are they from the dealers? hope its not something silly like 10Ԛ£ each!!!

also the rubber/seal ring that goes around the center caps are these available from BMW too, as an individual part or do you have to purchase the whole center cap?

appreciate any help/advice given.

Regards.

The rubber rings are available from BMW.

The centre badges I belive you can use the ones on ebay. Better to get origionals though and good luck taking the old ones out!

Make sure you regularly open and close the locks as they have a tendancy of seizing up and you'll need to buy a complete lock set if even one breaks. Roughly Ԛ£90 from BMW.

The other option is to not hassle yourself and sell me the wheels! Better still I will swap you an Eisenmann exhaust for the wheels.

the only caps that fit are the reall deal, those badges will fit, but the quality and detail of the picture are sub standard for the wheel imo.


Parts guys is talking out his arse, they all have alpina books with all the part numbers in them. All E30 alpina stuff is in there and wheel parts are one of the only parts left u can buy from the dealer still.

If i could work out from my reciepts whats what i could give u the part numbers for what u want
