Laugh all you want...my understanding is these wheels have not been refinished. I could be wrong, but when I got them they had 10+ year old tires on them.bkbimmer wrote: Did someone with epilepsy mask off the black portion of these wheels?
Is that a "statement" or a question? Am I supposed to imagine you throwing "air quotes" when I read what you wrote in this quote? And what and who are "you" referring to?leadphut wrote:what if you actually decreased their value by fixing that "flaw".
i guess it's a rhetorical statement to the anal retentative "so-n-so," regarding some slim chance, that they were hand painted by some dude with epilepsy, that happened to be working at alpina that month. if that's the case, by fixing that "flaw," you might have decreased their value. i doubt it, but you never know. ya know? it was a rediculous thought and wanted to pass it along to someone with a keen sense of humor.cek wrote:Is that a "statement" or a question?

I'd wish I could count with a local Ken (body/paint guy) down here in South Florida - Miami
Cool. Thanks!cek wrote:I want painted.
And you can't get all the chrome pieces anymore. Took a while to put it all together didn't it Charlie? Glad to see it all was found and I know it will look awesome when completed.cek wrote:I want painted.
You are right, except for the front left side bumper everything else is still available Hope this helps others interested!BimmerSultan wrote:And you can't get all the chrome pieces anymore.cek wrote:I want painted.
Some of you guys really crack me up with all that you "know". I give up trying to help and be realistic, I mean I only work at a dealership and have daily access to parts availability. If you think that's all that is NLA, I wish everyone luck who tries to order a package deal...and that's before you need to provide a euro VIN.harrypalmer wrote:You are right, except for the front left side bumper everything else is still available Hope this helps others interested!BimmerSultan wrote:And you can't get all the chrome pieces anymore.cek wrote:I want painted.
My comment was to encourage others so why the sarcasm and negativity? Due to the ban on Euro parts (including bumpers) I recently ordered and got everything new directly from Germany except for the brackets, those were used in the Netherlands. I'm glad you have access to parts most of us could not purchase, so from experience you could say I do know what's out there.

Sorry if it came off as sarcasm. I'm glad it worked out for you though. It is a tough to thing to get all of the needed parts. I'll leave it at that.
