Re: Alpina c2.5 1988 touring. oem+

From what I know about the manifolds they were janspeed manifolds used by alpina nottingham, they kept melting steering couplings so the design was modified a number of times.

Didn't 'bmsport' own this and had it on here for sale as well as eBay. Looks like its slipped a bit since then :? yes same car, it took him ages to find a victim, Sounds plausible to me I bought it of ebay lol. I admit it has slipped since.
