Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 There was a manual the same, Alpina B10, at Pukekohe today for the same money. I know which I'd rather have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 How much did Brent pay for his 535 B10 replica? That's how much this is worth... not a cent more... and certainly not $17k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 I see it's reged as an 1988 B10 535 tho?You know what I mean The rego means nothing unfortunately. I could register my touring as a B10 and no-one would bat an eyelid. You fill in the form and the people keying it in do just that, key in what youve written. Was PISH the plate that was on the M5 gear in the green 520 body ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 Yea I always thought an Alpina would only use sport seats and be manual. Still a very nice car and would proberbly fool most people but not for 17k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 I believe they still made B10's as an auto, so it could well be the real thing. But at that price I would expect a manual box and electric recaro seats thats all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr E34 11 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) I'm pretty sure that B10(genuine) was owned by Hi-Velocity (Gavin), others here will know the car.He sold it to this chap, Brent would probably know. The spec depended on which 535i was used for the conversion, i.e. std 535ia/ 535i manual or the 535i sport etc etc. Edited September 14, 2008 by mr E34 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 14, 2008 I've seen this car in the flesh - several years ago. My good mate bought this guy's 635csi which was also mint and had the plate "P1SH". He had both for sale on TM at the time - this one for approx $25K I believe. To the then casual observer the car did seem a genuine alpina and it is/was in showroom condition. No expense was spared and I believed he had them both serviced by Guido. Still looks great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 my alpina wannbe is registered as a alpina b10 . linky yes it seams a bit over priced . looks to be a uk car that was converted . a bit like mine, but mine was kitted in japan ,front and rear spoliers ,wheels , steering wheel ,badges and pin stripes (with no engine mods though) but have since done a manual conversion on it.

bravo 35 Report post Posted September 14, 2008 Is the one at Puke the one that's been for sale at the track every BMW race day for the past year? (I havn't been to watch for awhile, but there used to be one for sale for ages). The PISH and P1SH BMW's have been on TM (and posted here) quite a few times.
