Maybe you can source them via a distibutor of AMPHENOL products.

Sorry Reinhard....

Those pics were taken from a set in the UK I bought off ebay.

I never noticed that the pics were of 2 pc rims before.

But I assure you mine are not.

Now that begs the question, if those are not my wheels in the pics...

Then what the hell do mine say? lol

Ill pop the caps off tomorrow and look/report back with pics.

Yes Reinhard, those indeed are 18" E39 spec Alpinas by BBS, but they ARE NOT THE SPLIT RIM.

I also have a set of the E31 spec 17" Alpinas and they do not say who made them...

Sorry for the confusion, but the RONAL thing made me look as I thought I had a BBS set.

Interesting to see them marked RONAL on the back.

The 19" set above are indeed the new "Classic" wheel type with the scalloped centercaps/spokes.

Again, thanks for the info on FUCHS.

Not 100% sure....

But...I seem to remember having a set of Alpinas that were not RONAL.

These would have been the earlier style for E31 spec.

I do believe ALL Softlines were RONAL however...

Ill have to dig for pics...

Nope. It was a set of Softlines I have currently. Clearly state BBS in the centers.





Maybe RONAL only made the 20"s?

Reinhard, THanks for the info on FUCHS. Ive been arguing that the Style 37s are FORGED for a while now, but they dont say forged in the ETK/RealOEM for the E38s.

Wet the contacts....Qtip.

Not slosh it all around.

Acetone/Qtips removes the GUNK. I wouldnt be sanding to hard....

Acetate.

This does indeed work if you re-fit the bulb. (or damn well better)

Why they didnt give it to you lads almost makes up for you getting the better options.

Carsoft is crap on M70s.

Stomp test? Easy to forget. Any BMW OBDI car will stomp test.

Nice pics so far....

This is going to be interesting...

M60s are famous for stuck cam followers if sat for a period of time.

Take it out and get it hot. After warmed up, rev to 3k a few times.

Very common on the V8s.

EDIT...see Timm already posted that...

Would you like to borrow my glasses then have another look

The center opening just appeared to have different dimensions to me.

Dont look right....

But hey...if its real....and they are a dealer....it must be real.

PPfft. The actual part isnt even close looking to the Zeemax one shown on the car.

No. You need a specific SRS reset tool or INPA/DIS to reset this Im afraid.

Simple Peter.

Your EKM and cluster had already been "paired" for longer than the 8 hr limit.

This 8 hour limit is ONLY on VIRGIN new EKMs.

I think some people are being very negative, the site is NOT dying.
People are on holiday, some out of the country or concentrating on keeping afloat in this economic climate and the more negative posting and attitude the more negativity it will create.

100% correct sir.

Its summer. Posting is down about 10% on BFc as well.

Dont panic.

We all love and appreciate your posts Gerry.

Exactly my point.

I wold ONLY be using the 62.118.362.362 EKM in V8 cars as all the functionality is built in and can be programmed for the value differences......

And...can be read by INPA/DIS in the car....

Rev. I understand this....

But only the 460 and 362 EKMs were used on V8 cars.
