The picture with chrome rings comes from my previous 323i wich is now my parts car. Now I'm restoring my new 323i and it will take some time before I will be able to show you it

It was on Ebay for a while. Seller was Baunsal-Tuning. Checked today and don't see it anymore.
Tends to tip over if pressed near the front end. Otherwise, not too bad. Additional storage space under the armrest.

Your best bet would probably be to keep an eye on the German ebay site. I usually use ebay.co.uk site and do a worldwide search and it usually shows up. Seems more effective than ebay.com search.
Good luck!

No no, these are original, just painted the needles myself and had a "stickers" company make the Alpina letters...
Besides, real Alpina instruments have much smaller letters and on the rpm counter too.
I did unfortunately got the letters a bit bigger than I had ordered and didn't bother to tell them to make new ones...

De Praxis heeft ze soms ook.
Exact dezelfde voor € 14,95.
Is idd one size fits all.
Aan weerszijden moet je een verstelbaar plaatje plaatsen.
Die moet je dan weer op je middenconsole vastmaken.
Gammele troep overigens.
Je kunt er niet even stevig op gaan hangen.

Bobben,
If that is an original e21 cluster, what is the digital screen under the tacho? - is that where the clock is on e21s?
The cluster does look pretty legit. Nice work!
Cheers
