I hope the new owner joins bimmersport because it will be such a mean car. Why would you have a auto Alpina? Why? It defeats the purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 I wouldnt get too excited just yet people. A rego can be easily changed to say its an Alpina when in fact it isnt and Id want to see more than just a steering wheel to convince me. There are far too many people in NZ claiming they have an Alpina when they are nothing more than standard cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 I'd like to see a pic of the build plaque.... according to the Alpina register these cars only came in 5 speed manual. Regardless of whether it's an Alpina or not, all the decent bits (wheels, cowcatcher front spoiler etc) have been flogged from the car long ago!

nath 128 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 As- is i cant help but agree..... and at that C2.5 were a dealer- special model... but i guess at the end of the day its all better than standard eh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 I wouldnt trust a build plaque either Mark, just have a look on ebay at how many people sell them ! Seriously guys, it couldnt be easier to copy an Alpina these days, so take nothing less than a signed letter from Sytner to confirm it from the chassis number. You should also see something stamped on the block, but I cant remember what it is off the top of my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nath 128 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 C2.5= not an Alpina engine..... Just a Fl 2.5L with 2.7 ECU, maybe has headers whacked on but doesnt have to. Sytner managed to eventually tell me that yes they had built mine into an Alpina (they hadnt recorded what model) and that was a 1986- so i'm sure that all it will take is friendly liaison with them for this one. My car just had BMW/ ALPINA E30_________0266 ( i think that was the number- it became ingrained!!) as i eventually found most Sytner alpinas in that day omitted the model designation on plaque. Although this is a somewhat redundant statement because i'm not sure if C2.5's were give a plaque at all. New plaques for sale on eBay have different wording of the Alpina company than the ollld plaques did also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
