    Alpina Pedals?

    I found a guy that will sell me brand new Alpina pedals, but I'm not sure if they are real or some cheap fake or if Alpina ever even made pedals for our cars. Here is a picture...tell me what you guys think.


    He is asking $65. Is that too much?

    They are replicas, the same ones as the AC Schnitzer ones that Jordan, myself, and some other members have. They are SUPER-nice though, very good quality and really nice looking. I say nab them.

      Well, it depends if you want them or not. But I will tell you, they're not real.

        Alpina has a foot rest for the E30, and it doesn't look anything like those pedals. I'd assume those are the knockoffs, as they look like the 40 million pedal sets on eBay.
        The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

            So worth $65?

            I can get ACS ones like these off ebay for about 1/3 that.

              They're the same pedals as the ones on eBay. Just a different engraving... or sticker... or whatever it is. Get them off of eBay and save yourself some dough.

                Look for the ones that have the optional ///M sticker. If you leave it off, they just look like some real nice pedals with no logo on them. I think they go for like $30

                  Yeah, those are the ones that Jordan has.

                  I have the ACS ones, and I got them for $35 on ebay, then Matt was super-cool and hooked me up with the dead pedal. :up:

                    have fun installing them. they're a pain in the ass to install inside the car.
                    I retired my E30 for now...

                      Brake and clutch pedals are easy to install its the dang gas pedal that you cant get the nut behind.

                        So detach the gas pedal at the top, lay it down, and install it that way. It's really not that hard.

                            Bling.

                            Some have different shapes. Can be advantagous for heel/toe braking. Im looking for a set but I need a certain shape since I have 10a feet.
                            Im now E30less.

                              i think for most (myself included), replacement pedals are desirable because they look better than the black rubber pedal cover.
