E30 Zone

Alpina C2 2.7 rear exhaust box......Ԛ£978.73.....PLUS VAT (Ԛ£1150).

Pistons are Ԛ£275.......each.

Camshaft (270 degree) is over Ԛ£700 and Alpina can't supply them. The only one they CAN supply is for the B3 2.7 which was a catalyst equipped C2 2.7. These are less than Ԛ£300 each......but it's the same part number as a standard 325i.

Springs are almost reasonable at Ԛ£55 each....but hang on, the part number is the same as the 1987 325i Sport M Technic.


So if you own one of these: Magnex exhaust, Schrick cams and Eibach springs are the order of the day!

you cant get the rear box anymore, the price uve been quoted is for a full exhaust system, the alpina springs are Ԛ£115 each not Ԛ£55.

quicksilver alpina system!

Have you got an Alpina C2 to put all this stuff onto?

Simon is right, the quicksilver item is one of the best exhausts out there for the E30 but as he found the fitting can be a bit naff.

Anyway, no point buying all that Alpina stuff, there is much better kit out there for much less. A schrick 272/272 cam is slightly better and cheaper.
The springs.....H&R all day long over the harsh Alpina items.
Shocks, Bilstein Sport are cheaper and more tuned to british roads.

I quoted them the part number for the rear exhaust box from the Alpina E30 parts catalogue, but it would appear that the two come together. It's all in German!
The springs WERE Ԛ£115 (part no. 3133104. But they've been superseded by a different part number which is the same as the M Tecnic spring. The Alpina one are NLA. So is the rear anti rollbar, and.........

My late eighties parts catalogue shows a unique Alpina spring, but the one from 1997 just gives a standard BMW part number. 31 331 130 046 which retails at Ԛ£55.75 plus VAT.

Crafty buggers!

I tried to get some H35/6 springs from Birds but they wont sell just the springs.They wanted nearly a grand for H36 springs and shocks,ouch !

If you want top quality goods then expect to pay the price.

True

You only have to look in your sig pic.
You could of gone down the market and spent Ԛ£2 on cheap choccies, but you didnt.
You went and spent Over Ԛ£10 on a quality box and got the best

FYI, i bought some new springs for my m3 b6s car (dips), and alpina used regular M3 ones, just the air con uniits.

i have part no #s if anyones interested.
