Why the alpina wheel bashing? Most of the moaning on this forum is about not sticking to the good old days and just about everything that's changed since the E30 M3... So Alpina keep a tradition and everyone rips the piss... You people don't know what you want

I also love Alpina alloys, I have the Classic set for the winter tyres and a Dynamic's set for the summer.

Looking forward in seeing B4 and the Grade Coupe Alpina version is they do one

Totally agree. I'd rock Alpina wheels.

The M3 always has my heart, though.

Best to have/drive both, no?

Alpina B3/D3 Touring AWD for everyday (family) use and the M4 for the fun.

No offense intended, and I'm very much aware of the sentiment that BMW forgot how to make good cars immediately following whichever MY their car was on this board. But there should just be an expiration date for wheels that were on Rommel's staff car.

very nice car right here. but wouldn't this be considered a daily driver? The weekend car should be the handle like its on rails and kill the ozone layer type of car.

Haha. You mean those rims that just copied the g37 wheels and put a dish on it?

Those vossens ans dpe and the like need a forced early retirement.

I like the fender flares on the m3 but I like the line from the fender to the rear bumper sill more on the alpina more.

The alpina wheels look pretty good on the f30. Makes an ehh car look much better IMO.

hyperboost · 10-23-2013, 10:30 PM

side picture of the alpina looks HUGE! not a fan of those wheels.

I think the exact opposite; ugly, heavy and the same tired look on every Alpina model.

Actually the Alpina 21's weigh less than stock wheels on the 7, I think the only wheel that might weigh less are the 252's because they're forged. And my feeling is the Alpina's on the 3 don't work but on the 7 they look good, the 7 with 21" Alpina's has so much presence in person plus the wheels look classy and elegant.

I usually drive my S5 as the daily, I'm trading the 7 for a M5 or M6GC end of this year and thinking about getting the M4 when my S5 lease is up next spring.

Sadly, yes. It's the law now. Only wheels from this Century. Adapt or it's the Gulag. Your choice.

Now that would be an upgraded stable. What about m4 daily and a nice gt3 weekend toy?

Hahahaha

I do wonder if they should offer something else in the way of wheels which if I remember rightly they do, but they should put the them on the demonstrator

Kaxon · 10-24-2013, 11:48 PM

Man the Alpina looks nice - better than the M3 in my opinion, although I'm not a fan of those wheels. Really wish they sold it here.
