Dynamic wheel valve stems
Hi,
Can anyone please advise if the metal valve stems on the dynamics are Alpina specific, or are they the usual BMW ones?
I'm having my wheels refurbished (Roadster S) and it would seem a good opportunity to replace them.
Thanks
Andy

If anyone is unaware, the original wheel valves on the RS can cause a certain amount of bimetallic corrosion on the wheel alloy, to remedy this there are replacement valves available that have a plastic washer at the base of the valve to stop the corrosion. If you are having your wheels refurbished (or tyres replaced) these are a worthwhile upgrade
These cost around £7 each and can be ordered from any BMW dealer: Part # 91.47.3.610.086

And a pic of the parts breakdown...
you can clearly see the PTFE washer in the new assembly (upper items) used as the new interface with the wheel compared to the old stainless one:-
