MD13 492 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Link Says the engine is 3.3l but looks like an M20. Can you get 3.3 out of a 2.5? Or is that an m30... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 No need to post every single BMW that shows up on Trademe... we're all pretty avid TM watchers and see most of these cars. If you have a genuine question about a car and you want to buy it then by all means post it up... but otherwise all these threads (I count 31 of them from you) are just the equivalent of internet tyre-kicking. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandit 194 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Errrrrrr to Mark- Forum- "market place or occassion for debate". Not all of us are avid TRADE ME watchers as you suggest and I for one look forward to the postings of MD13, especially for the M3 or related adverts that I may have missed. He is entitled to express himself,(and kick tyres) and to post on this forum as he pleases, without your comments. Just as you do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Beats me where the Alpina bit comes in, only thing referred to in the ad are Alpina alloys. Look like there are a few spokes missing to Alipinas or even reps...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD13 492 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Cheers Will. Mark - message received. I am a first time BMW owner and so am probably a little over enthusiastic and definately under informed. Also work is a little quiet at the moment... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 540 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Agree with bandit , we all have our interest areas and MD13's posts are TM BM machines that I wouldn't seek out but often have got great entertainment value or are different from the factory norm. In the case of this e30 , someone has spent a lot of time and money creating a B6 3.5 / e30 M3 and 745i in the one shell. alpina , maybe not , but certainly in spirit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Yep, was Damo's, schnitzer reps, bad fibreglass work, rears are different sizes and don't look good at all, but 5 stud conversion, front wheels are in the wrong place in the arch, not centered. Car looked rough when I saw it last, looks worse now in those pics. Edited March 7, 2013 by Silver Fox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD13 492 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 The car was originally a genuine Alpina C1 2.3. Really! Damn... Site here says there were only 35 built... Can that be right? Alpina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nath 132 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 As far as I know it's correct. I remember in it's past life when it still had (painted over) original alpina stripes, boot spoiler and badging front and rear. There are people here who know more info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
