        Well, I have a source that can get me genuine, period-correct, 16" Alpinas, however it would cost a pretty penny, and then I would need to get them refinished, which I can also get a good deal on, however it still sucks to save up. The problem is, Genuine Alpinas would be awesome, but I would have to not buy anything else for a long time, and i'm too impetuous. Eventually, Genuine 16" Alpinas are the wheels I would get.

        I thought about Euroweaves, and the look good, but they're too hard to clean, and Alpinas are much nicer.

          Alpinas are nicer i suppose. And i assume you wont settle for kopis.

          What about some RSs in a more modest size and offset?

            Kopi's are a shortcut. I've seen RS's on Ron Perry's M5 in person, they look nice, but wouldn't match the overall look of my car in my opinion. If I ever get an M3, RS's are probably the wheels I'd get though. They seem like sporty wheels, and like you have all reminded me many times, my car isn't fast.

                I suppose.

                Oh, and hartge wheels would look good too IMO, but im sure youve thought of that

                Although i dont think a minty set of euroweaves would be a bad choice. Especially if youre talking about "matching" youre car. THey seem like the obvious choice to me, and youre OCD enough to keep them minty.

                16in style 5 redrills would look really good, but redrill is probably not OEM restore enough, and starting to look pretty mean

                        Heres genuine Alpina's (new) for a reasonable price... was considering them for my 323i but am going to go with the 15 inch BBS instead I think!

                          Greyhound sucks again. They'll tell me whether it's there or not, but they won't tell me where it is while in transit. So suspenseful it's not even funny. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day..

                            The suspense, making us wait and everything, lol.

                                So today, in the mail, I got a shitload of original brochures, and documentation. It's pretty cool to read and look at, it's like a travel back in time. There will be a lot of pictures to show you what each page looks like so if you have a problem with all the pictures, just close the page now.

                                This is the brochure showing all exterior color options, and all interior color options for e30's in the year 1985. I can take further detailed pictures, or even scan this brochure for you guys to read each part by request.








                                Here is the Radio Theft manuel in a case

                                It even has two window stickers that say don't steal me or my radio won't work (not in those words)


                                This stuff was awesome. It doesn't have any of my information on it, but at some point I want to scan them, use my awesome photoshop skills to print all of my information and car's information on it



                                This was the coolest part. The original window sticker!


                                This is what my owner's manuel folder will now look like. There were two versions of the owner's manuel folder for e30's. There was this white plastic one (early models) and there was a black vinyl or black leather one (look identical) for facelift (late) models. So mine is period correct. The cool thing about it though, is it not only holds your manuals, but it has a built in cassette cleaner case! Usually the cassette cleaning supplies came in a separate black leather folder, but I've never seen it integrated like this. I can't even find a part number. It also has a little cassette to listen to called "Introduction to the Ultimate Driving Machine"



                                Then there was a little paper saying what goes where in the folder, and a few other things

                                This is what originally came with my car and I've had since I got the car

                                Now to merge it all

                                Here is the collection of documentation and brochures I've now acquired


                                I just called greyhound (after calling twice a day to see if it's in) and this time they said they had it! It's really retarded they didn't call me to tell me it's in and that I had to call them, but whatever! I'm going to get it now and you guys will have pics later tonight. :D
