Original alloys for 1992 Touring - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

M5 CFF · 4th August 2006, 16:00

I am about to get a 1992 e34 M5 Touring. It is currently fitted with Alpinas. Can someone please confirm, was the "throwing star" the standard fitment to such a car? If so was it a polished finish & what were the sizes of the front & rear alloys?
Thanks in advance.

Think 9-minutes, think video, think what's that place that takes 9 minutes to get around? Oh, 10 in your case!

i can probably supply you a staggered set of throwing stars when you need them.

I'd do the same to the car as well, although i do quite like the alpinas on there as well!!

Thanks for your offer.
Been looking at these black throwing star alloys on Ebay:

On a diamond black M5 they might look quite mean or else I am tempted to just keep it simple & go with the original alloys.

Don't like the big M badges in the centre but other wise they may may well suit the car.
