The 3.2 Alpina Powered Chromie

[DanThe]

I bought this last year, 370mm recovered with M-tech coloured stitching, was thinking about dying the stitching black but its growing on me now

I dont want any M badges on the car so thought this badge was a bit different, what do we think?





The join here is a bit off centre but it wont bother me TBH

[Dezzy]

Not sure about the stiching mate. It was a no brained for what you paid for it. The only thing about your chariot that wasn't quite right was the aftermarket wheel.

The right choice

[The_Diddler]

Nice wheel, that badge is council thou , a founder member of the club should know better tut tut !!

[DanThe]

So what can I replace it with, chrome?

[The_Diddler]

Plain black strip, very understated....

nice choice Dan a 370mm tech 1 wheel has a great feel to it ,

ignore fiddler he loves the council strip and is probably jealous

[E30BeemerLad]

I reckon a little chrome strip on the wheel with black Cr24V

I like the stitching but i reckon you should go for the good ole mtec colours, or go for a nardi steering wheel

[Simon13]

hat looks like a very nice trim to me, esp on the m-colour stitch looks factory. i'd fit the normal insert but the german flag doesn't look bad either

[DanThe]

I dont want any M badges on this car, so the standard badge is a no no, CR24v emblem is a good call Lee How about a brushed stainless steel badge with the emblem

The stitching is a lot less 'in your face' than I first expected it to be

[Kedge]

That i like a lot Dan!

Brushed stainless with CR24v on it would be cool for the badge.

[Dezzy]

That gets a big thumbs up from me mate. If you find someone who can make them get 2

[DanThe]

We will have to bully Lee into getting a tech-1 wheel then

[E30BeemerLad]

I've got a large Tech1 wheel, which came off for the Homo effort, there's no way the bus wheel is going back on.

[Dezzy]

It might have to be added to the rules.

[Cook318IS]

A very good writeup by Andyboy himself and some great photos in this months TBMW Have you got any more pictures that you're able to put up?

[ali50ferrari]

hardcore oem homo right there but its soooo cooool well done man!!!

[Dezzy]

Oem homo???

I didn't think BMW fitted a 3.2 24v alpina lumps in 316 chromies?

I have messed my pants at them pics though mate. It's sat perfect!!!

The best on the zone IMO

[ali50ferrari]

yh alrite dezzy calm down apart from the lump, stereo and steering wheel. . . .its one cool fookin e30, how fast does it go? is it e46 m3 power or little less, what would be something to compare it too, powerwise? beautiful well done man

[Felix79]

It's a very nice car and now even better with some Alpenis curroption under the hood.

I would bet good money that over a 1/4 mile this would spank an e46 m3.

I dont think its far away, once ive sorted the clutch I hope to be doing low 13's

[E30Gheko]
