    It was to cheap not to buy.

    I'm not sure what the few patches of velcro are for.

    Does anyone have any idea what the name of this is, or would want to buy it (it's in excellent condition, possibly never used)? I'm moving soon and am trying to lighten my load. I also have some almost-new snow tires on bottlecaps for sale ($300).
    There was one on a recent vert auctioned on Bring a Trailer:

    Bid for the chance to own a No Reserve: 1989 BMW 325i Convertible 5-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #2,418.

    They are Kopi's. Look at the inside lug area - no lip for the locking caps.

    Compare the pic of the wheels on the Z1 to the one being sold. Pay attention to the spoke depth near the outer edge. Also, center hole is too large for Z1, would require adapter.

    Also, real Alpina softlines are flatter on the inner lug surface. Kopi's are concave like that (I have two set's of Kopi's and a set of real Alpina Softlines, so I kinda know what I am talking about..)

    there is no way to tell for sure without seeing the casting numbers in the center of the wheel. that information seems suspiciously missing. judging by the way the center section is domed, i would say they are probably repros. that price is probably too cheap for them to be real.

    Got a full Uberkaro interior yesterday. Not really rare, but not something you see stateside a whole lot. Heated too :)

    I'll go through my parts hoard and post some pics one of these days

    Welcome Aaron! The Velcro goes on the dash. I believe cover is OEM but no longer available. I've sent you a private message (PM)

    Never seen that for a BMW before. My dad has a very early MGB made before started making a fold down top and that's all it has is a interior cover

    Yes! Alias Books. They literally and just got in with a stack, and had not done the pricing. It wasn't out, but just sitting behind the register. That's cool you were in there... end of an era.

I said I wanted it and he told me he just got it in and hadn't researched or priced it yet. Since this is their last week open I guess he decided to let me buy it for an embarrassingly cheap price. It's a rare find!
