he looks over your requests and if it is approved you have to have your car shipped to ALPINA and they would add the parts on...
at least that is how they did it back in the days...not sure now...but parts are rare and expensive...
a new set of rims would cost about $5,000 to $7,000 US and that is before shipping!
I may just opt for the steering wheel and trunk badge mods and if I pick up an ALPINA like Bumper along the way then good for me...
I found that part throughly amusing.
