it drives lovely and feels so much tighter than my old 535 sport.

its defo right.apparently alpina give the car a brand new identity as even the vin tag is an alpina item not a bmw one and when you hpi them it comes back as an alpina not a bmw!

i contacted a pal who has a lot of stuff like this and he has got a b3 alpina in at the mo-exactly the same.

apparently the car comes from bmw complete-with its bmw chassis no.its then stripped and modified to alpina specs and becomes an alpina b10,not a bmw 5 series.

its build no 140 so quite a rare beast.
