Hi Wozza, did you get Alpina wheels, or copies - If they are OEM Alpina, are they a gadzillion pounds?

OEM Alpina and surprisingly reasonable I thought:

Alpina 19"s

Arrived box fresh from Germany with my tyres of choice fitted and balanced. Speak to Tony

Might not necessarily be an issue with the B3 but be aware that if you fit tyres with a speed rating below OEM, you might struggle in the event of insurance claims etc.

I really struggled finding appropriately rated winters for my B5, eventually getting the ALP marked ones from BMW.

Agreed, a terrific article.

Also agree, a joy to read.
Stands out a mile from the sixth-form tropes that the regular PH writers normally turn-out, frankly.
