Alpina D3 - Winter Wheels

[Theoldfm]

Does anyone know whether 16" steels with winter tyres will fit onto an Alpina D3?

The thing is, I am not sure whether the D3 has the bigger brakes on it from the 330 or something... last year the car was pretty bad to say the least so this year I need to look at preparing myself a bit better!!

From this:



To something like this:

Here are the applications, and i think you are correct regarding calipers.

Think you need 17's for yours, not 100 % though.

I'd have a look on ebay for alloys personally.

I got a set of style 44s for £90 for this winter, granted they're nothing special and they need a refurb but they're still a lot better than steel wheels.

Plus, £90 for a set of BMW alloys, can't complain.

I have just sold a set of style 44's because my understanding was that they didn't fit the E90 due to being the wrong offset or something... they are for an E46

Yeah it was just an example of what you can get for peanuts if you look.

If your D3 is older, single turbo model, any wheel that fits 320d will be ok.

If you have D3 Bi Turbo, then you'll need 17"

Alternatively, check your service book :-)

Thanks - it is a mono turbo so 16's methinks!
