I have a chance to buy a b25 Alpina e36

[Mr Vapour 76]

Hi

A friend of mine over here in london is selling his e36 b25 ALPINA. It Seems to have all the right stuff on it, from the gearknob, wheels, leather sport interior, and the all important plaque on the dash.Its black and just had a chunk of cash spent on it clutch, springs. Im real keen on it. If i was to buy it and ship it home would it be worth the money, IE shiping costs, etc. i estmate to get it home is going to cost me about 17000.00 NZD may be a bit more with duty.

What do you guys think. i know it will be a rare car back home but would all the effort be worth it.

Any one have any idea what it would be worth in the new zealand market.

Nothing? No motor swap = all sh*t and glitter.

If its a genuine Alpina (and they are listed as the manufacturer) then weve just shown that you cant import it anyway.

Dont be convinced just because it has the wheels, gearknob and especially the dash plaque. You can buy all those off ebay for god sake, its SO easy to fake an Alpina its not funny.
