Of course I will! I´m thinking of getting those wheels very soon and honestly I don´t know is it enough. Because at the same time I try to find some reason why I should wait some years to buy my own E90 Alpina B3. Or altough D3 if I want to stay with oilburner. Maybe it´s best solution to buy the wheels first and next thing is to buy a whole car

Thanks! I'm quite happy how it looks now. Except that it's a little bit too low - but that will be corrected soon.

Thanks! Yes, the photographer is really excellent (Frozenspeed), I can only recommend him to anyone interested in good photos from the Nürburgring.

Which rear trunk lid/rear spoiler is that?

TokyoCarGuy · 02-12-2016, 08:56 AM

These pics are reminding me that I still have a long way to go as a photographer. Thanks for the inspiration... Love the car!

That would be the Alpina rear spoiler. It's glued onto the car and provides a bit of additional downforce (useful as the car could reach speeds of well over 300 km/h).

Are there similar replicas to this same style?
I have seen a few which I think look pretty similar on EBay etc. However, not sure if they are exactly identical...
