    are these genuine alpina gauges?

    I was wondering if they were real, it'll take them a couple of weeks to get here form the UK

    Here's a example

    That looks like a regular MDO gauge.. with ALPINA tagged on there and painted needles.

      Wouldn't the MPH be in KM/H? Looks nice though.

        It might be MPH if it was a UK car, doesn't that one look like it is wired for front and rear fogs, if so that wasn't US spec.

            I believe alpina would be more of a different font and it would have a green tach strip.

              Nothing Alpina like. The original Alpina cluster has a type of brown color. I can take some pics of mine if you wish. Just to compare.

                  isn't the fuel gauge supposed to say 1/1 instead of F for full?

                    They don't all have the green stripe. There are a couple different clusters that I've seen though. Mine is like the on that Nico described-- it has a brownish surround with orange needles.

                      The Alpina logo isn't even close. This is what it SHOULD look like:

                        Most E30 Alpina clusters in fact didn't have the green stripe, it was only on a few very early ones. It was the E21 Alpina cars that usually had the stripe.

                        And that's my cluster up there above my post with the stripe and the logo. :up:
