Sweet score! I was lucky enough to pick a set last year! Mine have a different part number(R1/476)!  Curious to know the backspace on your set! 

@Conserv going to be jealous! 

My center cap not original. Been working on making some for my set!

Completely unexpected, but just found these. Looks like exactly what was on the ‘72 Alpina tii touring that sold on BAT not too long ago.

 

Bellissimo!

 

Will take some time to think about what to do with them.

ET20, based on my measurement of the lone example in my collection!

 

 

Fabulous find!

 

Congrats,

Moi? Jealous? Envious? Coveting?

 

Well, now that you mention it: jealous as all hell! ??

 

Best regards,

More (similar) here in Boston, but 6j x 14 ET45

But to be clear, Les, although both were manufactured by CMR, the Boston rims are steel rims, welded together. They’re also not an Alpina item. The Alpina Borrani’s are all alloy, riveted together with steel rivets. The ET40 of the Boston rims is going to take a hefty spacer, but they could be made to work, and might provide some space for a car with the Big-Brakes.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

It was dumb luck finding these. Actually, felt more like I was rescuing the wheels. 

 

I was in some guy’s backyard/junkyard checking out rusted out parts from the one 2002 he parted out years asking myself why in the world I was there. Was about to high-tail it out of there when he asked if I wanted to see some ‘steel’ wheels that came with the car. I first said no because I was mad at myself for driving 45 min out there to begin with, but reconsidered. 

 

Here is is a pic of where the wheels were ‘stored’.

Lugging the wheels up the hill on his property passed the carcasses of old hot rods, backhoes, and busses was pretty interesting in of itself.

Think you're gonna need new tires, though!  And be sure to check those rivets holding rim to center.  If they are in fact steel, all that sitting outside may have deteriorated the rivets and/or the seal between rivet and rim.  You can see some corrosion on the rim-to-center joint; you want to make sure the rims are air-tight before you fit new tires.

 

Great find--and in such an unlikely place!

    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
