Replacement Wheel Lock Covers

Hi All,

I've lost a lock cover from one of my 17" square-edged classics. Does anyone know where I can buy replacements?

I know I know it's not an Alpina, but the wheels are genuine!

Many thanks

15mm 5x120 PCD Hubcentric Wheel Spacers

As per the title, for sale are 2x 15mm 5x120PCD alloy hubcentric wheel spacers with 10x extended bolts. These are pretty much as new, I used them on my E36 for 5 minutes before I realised they were too wide and the wheels I was using rubbed. Will fit any BMW with 5x120 PCD fitment. These normally se...

This is indeed Jezza’s (my Dad) old car. He owned it from around ~90k miles right up to near 180k and it was bloomin’ brilliant. I’m sure some of you will remember the Nurburgring trip reports I posted – this being the perfect car for chauffeuring us to Germany and back on several occasions,...

Family Tree

Been a while since I've been on here, thought I'd just post a quick picture of the 'fleet' as it stands at the moment. Jezza's B10 is nearly at 180k miles and still going strong, the M3 is our track prepared toy and my 330ci does me proud. 20 cylinders, 10800cc, 400k miles and 900bhp in total! http:...

For Sale: E36 318is Coupe - £1300

Am going to be getting a new car in the next week or two so I need to sell this asap, ideally by next Sunday. I've posted it here before it goes on Pistonheads / Autotrader. It's a 1997 318is manual with the later 140bhp M44 engine. It has the half blue cloth / half black leather interior with a 6CD...

i think the car would look better with a deeper dish on the wheels That's what I don't like about these new style Alpina wheels, they don't have any dish to them at all which makes a huge difference. The D3's rear wheels, for example, had a lot of dish and look much more aggressive for it. http://w...

Steering wheels can be changed, not an issue.

In the older for sale thread on here linked to in the first post it shows the plaque.

I have to say that is pig ugly. Agree that maybe a different colour might help - something transparent perhaps.

Interested to hear your thoughts on it Neil.

That looks absolutely vulgar. Partly because of the colour, partly because it's too high up and also because the tyres look like they need a higher profile.

The worse looking interior I've seen recently in terms of the sat nav looking like an after-thought is the new Merc A Class. It literally looks like someone remembered they forgot to leave room for a screen so went out, bought a tablet and bolted it on. Looks awful, such a shame when the outside loo...
