yeah thats off the alpina sytners bumf in the 90`s. most alpina`s nowadays dont have all the originla bits, esp suspension and exhaust, 6 branchs (some came with em n sum dint)

Most importnat thig is to check for a dash plaque (although again some dint come with it) and check engine for stamping to ensure its the original engine. Some alpina due to expensive parts in the engine are plain jane 325i so u need to be aware of this

great advice thanks, i'll certainly be checking

Damn, our 325iS evo2 is almost identical in engine specs to the Alpina... but then ours was co designed with Alpina

Stevin u really want a 333i should be some in South Africa joint project with BMW and Alpina, very rare

Mon Sep 19, 2005 2:22 pm

Dude I've driven a 333i... they aren't all that great... granted it's an awesome car, and very rare, but I would take an Evo2 iS anyday just cause it's a better all round car.

The 333i doesn't handle at all well, but then it looks hot

i still like em, never seen one in the flesh though, same performance close to my Alpina C2 2.7 in terms of torque n bhp

A perk of living in South Africa

... but then it sux cause we didn't get the E30 M3
