[E3OBM]

my mate at the e30 center has a a genuine blue c2 2.7 cab, so thats another one added on the build list

[cro320]

stunning car

[madman2]

nice alpina but not original as it has been re-sprayed from white to blue hence lost its originality.

any pictures before it was re-sprayed

[Morat]

Those pics without the eyebrows look so much better - well done
Nice car, no doubt about it. Not a touring, but I won't hold it against you

I agree. Interesting to see that theres a few people saying the same when only a few months ago we were arguing over whether Si should do his Alpina Blue or keep the original Diamond Black.

Si? You did the right thing IMO.

100% true Barry, Diamond black was the only colour Si could have gone for really.

Its a nice cab, but the eyebrows are gash..

Si's was going to be painted an original period alpina colour.. Not an e36 colour!!

[d6dph]

Sorry was in my own little world there Fred.

[Ziggy]

Not a huge fan of the piping on the seats... Certainly a nice car though!

Going back to the car in question!

In April 2005 WLN sold this car for £7250 so did you really pay 13 bags between then and now??

Ad states auto box,leather,58k,Avus respray, 1988 built car

Now that surprises me that WLN would entertain an e30 not in an original colour. Begs the question what would they have asked for it as per mint and totally original?

[Ajk82]

The black one looks the part but the blue one looks like its something out of a cartoon box sorry blue one scrap it lol no offence

Whats a "cartoon box"?

[BMWAlpinaC2]

Mate, my blue beast is the nuts, the best E30 where I live for miles around, Rodderz E30 is probabaly the second best as he lives near me. The black one is nice. But, these beasts look the part in m-tech1, how a cabby should be styles, m-tech 2 is not for my liking.

The car pulls like a jumbojet and doesn't have any difficulty getting up to 125mph on the motorways, does it effortlessly, as I tried when I drove it home on the day I got it.

[GrindCulture]

What's up with calling it "the BEAST" every time? I've seen many many different cars and I wouldn't call an Alpina Cab a beast I'm afraid.

[BMWAlpinaC2]

I call it beast because it sounds like a beast, pulls like a beast, looks like an angel, and it easily leaves behind Porsches when I'm behind the wheel.
Only out once a week for a 2 miles drive to keep the gnine sweet, washed every other day even though its hasn't been used, it's the nicest thing I've ever driven, feels much much better than my RS6.

The 1.9 tdi is now gone and an RS6 has taken it's place guys

[Rodderz]

The colour change...was it with engine and interior etc out or are some parts of the car still white??

[BMWAlpinaC2]

Full colour change Rodders mate as far as I know, I haven't stripped it down yet and have no intention of doing so, however, I suspect it has total colour change, from where I can see, theres no white.

Got any pictures of your car yet Rod?

It'll be very nice to see your version of the thing.

Once a week for two mile , should,nt think thats doing it any favours mate, do,es it even reach operating temperature in that time?.
Would,nt you be better off running it for ,say 30 - 40 miles once a week?

If it's as good as you make out for it to be then I'd be thrashing for at least 50 mines every weekend.

[BMWAlpinaC2]

It would I suppose but theres not much point in racking up the mileage really.

When I take it out for a wash every other day I start up the engine and let it run for a good 20 minutes on the driveway while I get the water and spongers ready for washing.

When it does get taken out for a proper drive, say once every 6 weeks, I make sure it's done proper, we got shopping and to family so it covers a decent amount of optimum running time during that time period, just to keep the engine free from blocks or whatever its called. But you like it yes?

[gooner1]

As for the best looking cab on the zone, have a butcher,s at this.

[fuzzy]

as long as your happy with it what does it matter about our opinions.
my opinion though is cabs are for homos.

There's every point in racking up the milage! These cars are designed to be driven, so drive it!

That would explain the bizarre pining when there's a perfectly good woman in his bed

[BMWAlpinaC2]

That is a MINT CAR, alpine white is it? That's what mine was first, changed to avus blue, loving the all blend of subtle mods.

Cab's are pretty cool actaully, especially on hot summers days when bald people have their shined nut heads bobbing around.

They are good on a clear winters day too, or night come to that.
Heaters,are spot on.
