Re: E30 BMW number plate

Re: Alpina goodies what are they worth?

If the buyer of the front spoiler wants to fit it to an 86/87 chrome turd you will need to fit the matching metal valance as well. Thats the correct front spoiler for a sept 85 to aug 87 chrome turd.

M10 Race car engine approx 1200bhp !!

Was watching Massive Engines on Quest channel yesterday and was amazed to hear that BMW used the M10 engine in early 80s F1 cars and with mega turbocharging produced around 1200bhp.
Well im sure thats the figure he quoted .. Amazing !!

Hope for all those 316's yet then !!!
