GorGasm 563 Report post Posted May 27, 2022 Yep definitely a beautiful colour combo. Shame about the wheel design. In fact wheel design in general is pretty poor these days I feel. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balancerider 751 Report post Posted May 27, 2022 @GorGasm these wheels are better...but I reckon you'd be looking at 180k landed for one of these Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GorGasm 563 Report post Posted May 27, 2022 Only cost a few bob to change the wheels on the first one, and it has enough power too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revocet 4 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 Hi all - have lurked around these pages for a while (E30 conv '91 in the garage since '97) ....... was vaguely thinking about a new family wagon and seeing this car made that Priority No.1 so just pulled the trigger and looking forward to collection next week ! Entirely agree re the wheels ........ suggestions welcome along Alpina lines. Will find out Alpina cost for reference. I don't think any of the BMW dealers in NZ are Alpina agents (?) Have found with other car & non-car items where no local supplier that head office often happy to sell direct. Failing that maybe one of the UK dealers. HRE do an Alpina copy that's more expensive than the original ! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyT 48 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) I've never been a fan of the Alpina Classic wheel - too busy looking. But the Alpina Dynamic wheel is damn sexy. I would suggest you steer away from bright chrome and black. That green colour is one of very few colours which would work well with a bronze finish wheel, similar to the halo colour on the M5CS.

BMW Australia may be able to sell you Alpina rims - can spec new Alpina B3 there so could be worth a look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will check out the agent in Oz - but from experience with other car parts the landed price ex-Oz is often more expensive than ex-UK and takes longer to arrive.
