Not real.

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.

the price quote in the ebay post is per wheel.

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..)

This piece came with my 325i convertible. It protects the interior when the top is down.

It's very well made of heavy-duty canvas and snaps to the car. As you can see, it can be unzipped in the front. Came with storage/transport sleeve, but it's a tight fit.

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:

I'll likely be putting the cluster back up for sale. Like I said it was just so damn cheap I had my buddy go buy it. Just happened to be ten-20 min from his house haha.

That's pretty much what Ryan and I do. We both watch the different sites and what not, and constantly text each other, "Dude, check this out.." Or sometimes it's more of "I bought this, we can figure it out later.."

Pretty much. I'll probably end up using it to get me an alpina cluster haha

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

Oh my... :)

Sold, mystery solved

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)

It is OEM and I sold to someone in my area. The cover attaches to the 'male' half of the snaps (which I'd barely noticed) that are on the chrome trim at the tops of my doors.

[bradnic]

Damn dude. Check your PMs next time. Lame
