Go with the Alpina – unless you plan to heavily track your car, it's a more well rounded car.

I love the Alpina Classic rims, but would never have the patience to keep them clean.

Dunno about the ///M but those rims have the exact offset required by Alpina...
I also remember that the ///M is different however...

Ill have to keep my eye out when it comes time for some rims. I like so many wheels its going to be hard to chose lol. Most likely i will go for something super light weight race/jap styled wheels.

mmm ok. Here Jap isnt considered a racist term, its widely used when relating to cars parts. Hell there are like 5 businesses with the word Jap in the name. Like Jap Imports ect.

Sorry if it offended anyone.

I don't really like the alpina styling, so I'd go with the ///M...personnal preference, go with whichever car you'd rather look at every day.

This is America, everything offends some body here, don't worry about it. Most foreign folks I run into tell me Americans don't have freedom of speach any more. Sad -

Ahahah ...so please be prepared if you come in Italy!

Maybe here's too much freedom of speech!

Here we call differently even people from the north or the south of our own country! I let you immagine what happens with people of other countries or colors
...but no one (well, ok , it depends...maybe sometimes someone ) consider him/herself offended...that's maybe 'cause we always speak with a smile on our faces

In Italy is the tone of the conversation that makes the difference

Anyway we use too words like "Jap" about cars or else, without intending something rude or mean,so don't worry J factor, smart or experienced people will get it immediately

Thank you for explaining rc'Z and mpower03

I'll think you will not get wrong whichever you'll choose. There are advantages in every choice

My vote is for the alpina. Their work is a bit less obnoxious. no offense to M owners, but I like the quiet cool.

id say the alpina would be better suited for daily driving, because it is more tamed and less agressive. but i like obnoxious!
