Here's a did you know moment:
Did you know that Alpina is to BMW what AMG is to Merc.
In house tuners that work from just a shell borrowed from BMW

So this isn't a 435i done up as an Alpina, it's an Alpina done up asan Alpina.
Also , Schnitzer is not supported by BMW in the EU,unlike SA


These are the boys from Sytner Nottingham

Those rims are nice but I count 21 spokes.

For a quick wash(not removing the wheel).
That is 21 x 3(the three visible sides)= 63 x 4(the wheels) = 252 surfaces that needs to cleaned.

On my first car I has style 13's believe cleaning the wheels takes long time.

Yes yes you can get wheel woolies and all that stuff but it is the principle that scares me :rollsmile::rollsmile: just have to have brake dust on it again two days later.

You're right about that cos just the other day I saw a D3 with awful looking wheels , filthy, bubbling and just tacky looking.... And it was only 5 years old
So cleaning those wheels going to be a beeeesh
