Looks stunning. Reg is hidden, my mate spoke to the owner and he said it says 325i sport on logbook. I know that Sytner converted the cars but shouldn't it say on the logbook if the car is an alpina?

Its in Birmingham... seller has 0% feedback.

It's unlikely there is even a car for sale!

Nope, it wont say Alpina on the log book of any Sytner built car.

Could be the real deal.

Nice looking car

Ebay makes me laugh - he could have drove it out in the country somewhere to take some proper pics but no - round the back of some dodgy houses creates such a good look :mad:

Emm I would disagree. Id be more suspicious if the photo was taken away from the household.

Quote "its under gone a full restoration" then later in the ad "could do with a new set of rear bushes not unusual for a car of this age" I don,t get it, go to the trouble of a full restoration but don,t worry about a new set of rear bushes while your at it ! Mmm what else has he not bothered with. I don,t understand the mentality. It does look good though!

there was a similar one at santapod, also for sale, but 177k on the clock?! and iirc, reading the online ad, the owner was a bodyshop "guy" who had done lots of restoration work...

these don't come along too often, can the mileage be verified?

Ask for the vin number and simply give Sytner a call - they will have a record of any conversion to the standard car.
