I've looked all over for a picture of a pig cheeked 02 with these Alpina CMR wheels. I've been contemplating installing mine. Do you think these are 5 1/2"? If so I think I will move forward. Thanks Andersson!

hey  man

 

 

its hard to tell.....but 5..5 or 6 is a safe bet......the dish/lip is not that big.

 

 

still, depending on offset, the flares may be overwhelming.

 

ever see the alpina hot rod build  in red/blk, its  owned by one of us here...

 

 

.its got the steel look but they are widened to 7 or 8....and look good w/ the pig cheex

Joel,

 

Im leaning towards them being 5 1/2" since Alpina didn't make steelies in 6", but could be 6" wide if they were the 14" NK wheels. Im hesitant to widen mine to 7" & 8" wide since they are so rare. I've seen the red/black pig cheeked 1600, and yes, that's an awesome looking ride. 

 

Sorry for high jacking...heres some more vintage shots. Probably already posted.

Andersson,  You always come up with the best!  I will have to have my dad sift through his archives to see if he has any more of that Tobin Special.  That is a very nice car!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
