Hi .........Just purchased my E31. I always vowed that it had to be 18" Alpinas on the car if I got one - however these seem pretty rare.
Example here http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/415725.htm
If anyone has a set they wish to sell or indeed are aware of anyone ( in the UK or Europe ) that has a set for sale - please contact me.
Many Thanks

Here are some new ones

Hey Lloyd - Oh dear I'm obvioulsly not the only one. I was aware of the new ones but didn't fancy paying another 2-3k for them.
I'm sure when I 1st looked at that link a month or so ago they were £1800 - Have they gone up in price ?

Hi mate, (is it Gary from MyMotiv)??
Yeah I'm affraid its a case of either buying new ones or waiting for when a set come up on flebay.
Once you've collected your 8, I would love to see some pics. -

Check out the 2 piece wheels! I must say I do prefer those over the normal one piece, pity they are only 9" wide -
2 piece are nice - in fact a set of these were on Pistonheads recently. My preference is the old school Aplina's - It's the deep dish and wide rears I'm after as I think they modernise the car well and give it a great stance.
Anyway -
Just picked up the new car drove 400+ miles - around 7 hours from London to Perthshire in the new motor. Absolutely faultless - steady 70- 80 with between 27 - 29 mpg ( didn't want to push too much to soon ! )
Delighted ! ( now need the Alpinas )
Will post some pics by the weekend hopefully.

Delighted - just loving that V8 roar.Things to do .....
(1) Slight ding in the bootlid - not sure if it's fixable or whether I need to source a new bootlit and paint .
(2) Rear diffuser is missing ?? - Not sure what happened here but it looks as if there was one at one time as theres still a bracket - so hopefully shouldn't be too major. ( Any thoughts out there on how to get one ? )
(3) Full detail and Zymol when I have the time !
(4) Alpinas Alpinas Alpinas !!! Need / What 18" Alpina's Deep Dish - but so do all 8 owners. Checked online and the've also went up by £200 + to over £2k. E-mailed the Co and they reckon it's due to the exchange rates.
(5) Still toying with the idea of LPG Convertion !!Comments welcome ( Photos of my E30 M3 Convertible are in there also ! )

She looks great as do all 8's;-). As for the rear diffuser they are available from the dealers £150ish I seem to remember.

Garc I saw this this afternoon
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI…EWAX:IT&item=250353093261
I then asked about delivery to Uk which was 250 euro meaning a total cost of 1750 euros about £1600 ish and thought as the tyres were no good I would rather not take a chance as thats not that far away from the cost of them new plus these were a little marked on the edges
Anyway they are sold now, but it shows they can and do come up but they are big money. -
Lloyd - Thanks very much for looking out for me - i missed these ones !
Your spot on in that they certainly hold their value.
I called the guy that owns the Metallic Red 840 Sport for sale on Pistonheads that have these wheels. I had some discussions around buying or part exchanging my wheels for his etc, however long and short of it was he wanted no less than £1500.
As the wheels are £2045 on the web - I'd preffer to get a new set than pay 3/4 the price for second hand set.
Other option is at the moment is I can get hold of one back 10.5 inch which has been refurbed - so if I could source 2 front wheels (18x9" ET12) for a decent price then I could buy the remaining back wheel new.
Anyway - the search continue ...... Thanks Again.
