Hey guys, so I just bought a 1995 530i (my first v8!) and I’m thinking about getting alpina replica wheels shifter and steering wheel. Anyone know where I could find good 16" e34 alpina wheels or replicas preferably.

Oxford green is one of my favourite colours on E34s. So good.

Thanks! Unfortunately German engineering screwed me on my z3 with the subframe welds but this car only has 60k miles and hopefully can be an awesome daily. 5 speed and a v8 can’t be too bad :-)

The z3 sadly has it still diff hanging down onto the exhaust at the moment but I’ll fix her up soon enough once I have the money

Idk. I also like the m5 throwing stars but i feelike they’re both just very standard boring routes to go. I think an alpina clone could be fun. My other though was the classic oz racing rally wheel in white to complement the green. The snowflakes aren’t bad they’re just small and I believe one of them if not more needs straightening but I haven’t had a chance to get them checked uet

Go with style 32. Although you’ll need hub rings since those are e39 fitment which uses a 74.1mm hub bore unlike practically every other bmw that uses 72.5mm
These are on panjo but they’re in the phillipines.

You’ll probably just have to troll the forums.
I’m a big fan of the style 5 myself though. If you want bigger you could go with BBS rc009. Those will be harder to find though.
5spd manual or the 5spd auto?

5 speed manual. I have a set of e36 m3 ds2 wheels in my garage but I don’t think they’d look good on this car. I might just get the snowflake wheels on the car straightened and throw tires on em for now, until I can save up and get some of those pricey alpinas. I figure since my z3 coupe is my sportier car I should make this one more of a great street car and make it an alpina clone

Forums are going to be your best bet for something specific like that.. I found these 14" ones in 4x100 back in the day and had them on a mk2 vw.. they were lovely.

Those are awesome, I really wish I hadn’t sold mine. Have fun explaining to people that it really is a V8. I had to open the hood to get the parts guy to order 8 spark plugs instead of 6. I’m also partial to the M Parallels.

Haha yeah I didn’t even realize it was a v8 when I first opened the ad and then I was like oh I never knew haha. The car is a year older than me but I’m in love with it. I work at a benz dealer but honestly I’d take this car over any of the new luxury cars coming out. The new cars are too fast to enjoy driving on the street
