A totally Genuine Alpina E53

Recommended Posts

First one I've ever seen too lol!!!

Add some wheels, a badge and it's an Alpina. The only one in the world infact.

About as genuine as the GTR badge I have on my shed wall. I do rather like the rims though!

Those chrome trims around the tail lights are all class :wacko:

Hmmm is it really one? Looks like it just has the wheels...

Can't quite tell but looks like steering wheel has standard BMW badge... shouldn't there be an Alpina badge there?

I was under the impression that aftermarket enhancements do not appear on the VIN sheet. Although Alpina & AC Schnitzer are endorsed by the factory any changes made to the cars would not have any effect to the original build spec.

Though I could (and frequently am) be wrong :)

Alpina also deveoped the 4.6is and 4.8is engines for the X5... wouldn't you think they'd have used one of them instead of the 4.4???

So many dreamers. He probably beliveved the guy who sold it to him...

There was a Le Mans powered V12 X5, but was never put into production.

They're certainly genuine rims though.... 10" front & 11.5" rear. 285/35/21 & 325/30/21...... reckon a new set of those would be worth more than what I make in a month! :blink:
