Alpina E30 B3 2.7 Replica

Recommended Posts

$17,500

Reason for selling I now have a M3 project and time, space and the CFO don’t allow more than one project at a time. Sad but true.

 

I’m hoping someone will carry on this project or at the very least enjoy and look after it.

 

Was originally an auto 320i from Japan imported 1998. Now its a certified M20B28 manual. 

 

I started this project 18 months ago to build a Alpina B3. The base coupe was in excellent condition and owned by a local mechanic with an extensive array of vehicles who carried out the M20B25 and manual swap using an 1988 E34 donor.

 

The paint (Diamond Swartz Metallic) is in excellent condition (believe it has been re-sprayed at some stage) and only rust I have found was in the trailing rail in the sunroof and surface rust on battery tray which both have been treated and painted. Some blemishes on roof requiring attention.

 

Note speedo had stopped working and I installed a replacement with similar mileage working cluster.

 

An extensive list of restoration and modifications have been carried out with receipts & photos available (I know should have done a plog).

 

Certified by LVVTA with WOF and rego.

Well, you see, I have a number of E30s so I am familiar with the overall concept. I also have a high-level of 3D perception and visualisation, so from the various photos showing the details I can put it all together in my head.
