That gauge cluster add on with the digital gauges is neat. I haven't seen one of those before.

yes, but the red one has been resprayed, but not full resprayed. maybe vinyl wrapped? The engine bay, door jambs, etc are still bronze.

That’s a bummer but not a deal breaker considering you could still talk them down.

Super cool. Looks like there was a guy that was going to make them on bimmerfest but never got around too it. A real alpina cluster is $$$.

These would fit on my E30...

After seeing some examples, not my type.

Yup same fitment as style 5's. I think they look WAY better without centercaps (same with 16" style 5's unless you get those RS style waffles/hex nuts). I got my set for cheap at a junkyard and am planning to use them for track/auto-x wheels eventually

What's left of the +/- 100k 528e's have been around $5-6 for a while now and 535i's go for what great M5's were 6 years ago and now low end current M5 prices.yet. This was $10k over imo. People just throw their wallets at these auctions.

I don’t know how serious you are Chris but I’m thinking of selling my Euro 535 this year as I might be leaving WI for work to a state with an Emissions Gestapo. Price would be much less than that BaT listing, thinking around ~$10k but haven’t really researched the market lately.

'Ive heard these even out of warranty are night mares. Haven't watched the Rich Rebuilds series on his i8 yet, wonder what this will go for.

I haven't looked at powertrain stuff much specifically, but a guy I went to school with bought a used I8 and has had a ton of issues with the a/c compressor. Apparently they use the a/c loop to cool the batteries, and the compressor is either under-specced for the application or just a bad design/part, and they prematurely grind themselves to bits and throw metal into the whole a/c loop. He had his replaced once, and within a few hundred miles the new one was already making a ton of noise again too (mind you, this car is like 3-4 years old with 16,000ish miles I want to say). Seems like an expensive nightmare for the used buyer, since to fix it properly you probably have to flush the whole a/c system including the battery loop.
