If the car was purchased in the 1980s, anything could have been added to impress and keep up with the go-getting 'status quo' of that time...Topblag wrote:Finally, if the old dear is 80, and her departed husband was of a similar age, can you see a 50 year old + man adding Alpina stripes to a car which isn't a genuine Alpina ?

People in their fifties don't tend to do that, especially those who can afford a brand new 325i.Speedtouch wrote:If the car was purchased in the 1980s, anything could have been added to impress and keep up with the go-getting 'status quo' of that time...Topblag wrote:Finally, if the old dear is 80, and her departed husband was of a similar age, can you see a 50 year old + man adding Alpina stripes to a car which isn't a genuine Alpina ?

Hmm. I didn't know about the Brum rep in those days, Fastroad. The zone has enlightened and educated me over the years.Fastroad wrote:I think the clue to your answer is in your own words... genuine and Brum ???? a˜aGert_8 wrote: Dropped it like it was hot, but would have liked to have known whether it was genuine.

The main point is the Alpina outfit in Nottingham couldn't be sure. That is a little disturbing, don't you think?

It's not out of the ordinary for a run of the mill BMW to have been dealer fitted with some Alpina parts, most commonly wheels, spoilers etc when new or nearly new.
A prime example is the diddlers 4dr 325i which was sold new by Sytner Nottingham and had Alpina wheels, steering wheel, gear knob and "ALPINA" badge despite not being an Alpina model.
There were/are Alpina accessories catalogues after all.
This D reg turd may well have had the stripes and ALPINA badge dealer fitted from new but it does not make it an Alpina model.
An interesting turd none the less.
