Floor pans and what not

[AG325IS]

Im looking to get my hands on two things. The first and most important is a set of floor pans. Mine are of course gone and thus rendering the car undriveable once again to rust. The second thing is not as important. Im looking for a Alpina rim from a 320. The rim should say Alpina. 320's came with rims that look like the Alpinas but they werent. If anybody can help it would be great.

the multi spoke 320i wheel is a dime a dozen. Junk yards and ebay are your friends.. if you spend $100 for 4 they better be mint

I know what rims u speak of and we just arent on the same page. There were true Alpina rims that came with 320's ior people ordered seprate. The bmw rims u are talking about are not the same size as the alpina rims. The Alpinas are 15" rims and wider.

15x6.5" et12 4x100 alpina rims are about $250-300 each. Finding someone who will split a set is even worse. try dave varco, 2002haus, and ireland eng. might find a lead there. Quite rare and command big money when up for auction. Shame you cracked one. I'd look into fixing it instead of getting another. Also bmw sells brand new floor pans.should be able to get them from maxmillion. might as well just install some blank sheetmetal and shore up your frame rails. No sense trying to get factory steel unless your "restoring" and then you wouldn't start with a car with holes in the floor.

I was going back and forth on wether or not just weld in sheet metal. Thanks for th opinions and info. I will prob. end up taking ur advice.

I have a '75 2002 and to repair my floors, i just cut out the bad section and welded in a new piece of sheet metal. Its held up for the past 4 years, so i guess it worked ok. But if you are going for a beautiful, factory restoration, you might wanna spend the extra time replacing the floor w/ an original floor plan

Im not sure what width Alpina you need but I have a original 15x6 Alpina wheel from my E21 B6 2.8 if you interested.

I replaced both drivers and passenger floor boards, buy getting a rust free 320i in california and having the wrecking company cut out the whole floor.
I had them cut right threw the inner and outer rockers, plus the frame rails - right to the front tranmission tunnel.

I have the welds on the frame rails drilled out, and replaced both rockers, quarter et on my car. The bottom of each e21 floor has a circular depression that collects water - and rust and would be hard to patch....

I could never get the floor boards from Maximillan no matter how hard I tried.

VTbimmer - i would hang onto that extra Alpina rim..I know it came with your car, but someday you may need it.

I actually have 2 extra both are the original 15x6's. One I plan to keep as a spare but I have 15x7's all around now so if I ever need a replacement I'll just buy a new one.

I can take a picture. I havent really looked at it yet. I know its pretty dirty cause the 2 original 15x7's on my car are filthy and Im in the process of toothbrush cleaning them which is a bitch. Let me see what I can do.
