Yes that sort of power is attainable from a 2.7.

Depending on gearing 0-60 is between 6-6.5 secs.

is it an Alpina or a 2.7 Alpina copy? Sounds like an Alpina copy engine (no bad thing if its done properly).

Where was the dyno print out done?

[touring_thru]

na it is an original as hes got the log book and chasis number of the engine also all the mots direct bmw and its only done 89k mechanic told me its stamped alpina and chasis number on the rocker cover/ manifold he was saying

the printout was done at power and engineering



M5PILOT what is a copy alpina what is it orignally and how can you tell as me mate mite have a copy and hes thinking of buying it

[M5pilot]

Is not hard to tell if its a genuine lump.

1) Black Rocker Cover - should have tiny initials engraved on it

2) Black Inlet manifold

3) C 27 engraved at bottom of block on a tab on the passneger side.

4) 4/5 digit number engraved on side of head. Look opposite first injector from front.

5) Throttle Body may have same initials as rocker cover.

Power Engineering are a decent setup.

800 notes is cheap if its got all of the above.

Alpina Copy engine -

this could be any 2.7. Some are crap some are great.

So youve got the 2.7 now. Time to go to a dyno and show us what it puts down.
