I'd never seen one of these grill badges before this one came up for sale.



Patina meet patina.

Alpina shift knob. Needs to be stained. It was prepped for refinish but never done. Got it for dirt cheap. Found a honey hole for rare parts and great prices :)

the proportions on that knob look really off for some reason. it are you sure its authentic? i think someone found a wheel sticker and had the rest of the knob made around it. also, the grain doesn't look right either. it should be english or french walnut. that one looks like a more open grand wood like hickory or white oak. i'll post pics of mine when i get back in town. in the mean time raul has one or 6. maybe he can post a pic of his?

I sent pics to him and frank they had nothing to say about it not being real. It being sanded could have something to do with it along with the fact they are really shitty pics. But it could be. It was cheap though



Looks similar to this one just not stained

There is supposedly and early and late style. That one is late. Cause of the lighter wood or from info ive been told the late ones had lighter wood.

Guess I've only seen the later ones in person then. Smaller logo, lighter wood with grain clearly visible. Dude wanted $500

Been looking for one of these for a while. Perfect for the non ac 320i

[bradnic]

You gonna retrofit AC?

Not sure for now just for looks haha. I think most of these would be r12 and not able to switch over to 134a anyways.

oh sure you can. condenser, seals, expansion valve, new drier, boom.

What about compressor? These didn't use conventional belt driven compressors did they? Cause if they did i would think the car would of just gotten a regular ac system back then.
