Alpina sticker for the trunk. It tells tire pressure and such. The one in my trunk has shriveled up from heat I think. So I figured for $10.00 why not replace it right? $55 was the ending price. You gotta be nuts to pay that much for a sticker:eek:

Incorrect.
Walloth & Nesch does not stock this item. Even in the hardcopy catalog.
Maybe the regular BMW air pressure sticker but not the Alpina sticker.

If I was really wanting this item I would email them and KSK in cali as well.
They have some stuff, that is not in their cataloq,
like BBS front spoilers.
Or, you could buy the regular sticker, bring it to a graphic artist,
and they could digitize/scan in into their computer, and make one that has
the ALPINA logo on it.
Later,

try contcting alpina themselves and seeing if they still tock this item or if they can order it for a reasonable price. It might be worth $55 if you say you got it from Alpina themselves. But not worth $55 if you have to say you got it off eBay.

damn, if we could get the picture in higher resolution, we could print it on sticker (decal) paper on my computer. Or take it to a decal shop.....

Yes, but it still depends on the car, tire size, tire brand, suspension setup, driving conditions, etc, etc. Don't go by max inflation/load ratings of the tire, and once you've changed tire sizes, the door jam is no longer valid.
From the pic of the sticker it looks like Alpina recommends 1.3 bar (33 psi) front and 1.7 bar (39 psi) rear for the Pirelli P7 205/50VR15. I would guess the 39 psi rear is if you have 3 passengers and a dead hooker in the trunk. Thats a good base line to start with, adjust from there according to tire wear and your personal taste (hard, good handling, better gas milage vs. soft, more comfort).
