I did think about getting the Alpinas but something in me says that mounting Alpina wheels (with the Alpina emblem on them) on a 520iT is sort of like (although not as bad as) getting an M5 badge and sticking it on a 518.
That probably sounds really stupid, but that's the way I feel. (No flames please) :-)

Besides, I actually think the BBS rims looks a little sharper, and the fact that you don't see them on every other car on the road is also nice (not that the Alpinas are THAT common, but at least you see them every now and then).

Looks like a perfect combination. I've read the story and the bottom line ($) - I wonder why didn't you settle for Alpinas ? I imagine they are available, have about the same pattern and possibly a bit cheaper..

I finally got my BBS PL rims! 8,5x17" with Pirelli P-Zero Asimmetrico 235/45 ZR17. Here are a few pics...
