I'm particularly smitten with the 16" Alpina alloys (I think they're called turbines!!!  ) and the very very retro-cool coloured indicators (amber).
Shopping list being compiled as I type..............though not celis this time. |

Congratulations on the new motor - and a very good price for the
mileage and service history. One query - I thought the V8 E39 came on 17" rims as standard? The alpina rims are very nice, though! Waiting for piccies. ------------- Richard. Current; 2000 316i Compact 1.9 previous; 1999 535i V8, 1995 316i Compact 1.6 |

Nice one John, V8 hey, excellent. Looking forward to some good pics. Not had time to look for the little sensor yet, been on shift for a few days,killer these 12hr jobbies, too knackered when I get home to even turn on the PC sometimes. If I find one at a good price I'll let you know, cheers Steve. ------------- 1998 E36 318iS Saloon 1989 E30 318i. Coupe 2000 E39 520i Touring

Vast majority I was looking at seemed to be on 15s or 16s til tail end of 1998. Anything after Nov 98 seemed to have 17" star alloys or radials-might have something to do with this was the time the 535 sport was launched.
Might be picking up today but in all probability it'll be tomorrow-can't wait. You all sure you want photos???? Ambers and horrible turbines?? However turbines staying for minute as its got 4 recently new tyres. When it comes time to change then I reckon an upgrade to 17" Alpina reps wil be on the cards-though theres a guy near me got a set of 5 Msport tuning-fork alloys up on ebay at the minute. |

AAAhhhhh but the 5 series forum was DEAD;  so I thought I'd jump the gun.
Pictures to come when I've got it, hopefully tomorrow now! In the meantime I could show you the spanking Astra I've had for 2 and 1/2 weeks???
