Driftit 2069 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Building one at the moment for the BMW race series. More common in Europe. None made it here though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oscar90 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 Me and my father were discussing how good a non M V8 E36 or E46 would be the other day, no expensive M servicing costs etc... The V8 looks right at home in there and would make a fun drive i'd imagine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 540 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 That would go well! The X5 4.6 goes really well, i'd imagine the Alpina would have more power too? My understanding is that they are the same engine. Alpina developed it and BMW used them in the X5's later on. The 4.6 engine ended up in a number of Alpina Chasis from the 3 series up as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
