E36 Alpinas, alright?

Was looking through t'trader site last night and came across this.

Seems stupidly cheap and doesn't look like too much of a snotter.

I would imagine these get down the road OK?

I drove my mate's 328 auto back from Billing and it was an OK chariot (nothing some ball joints and general suspension freshen up wouldn't cure, together with the 325 manifold.

With the exception of the retro looks of the e30, these things make a damn good case for themselves at that price, or is this one just exceptionally cheap/wrong?

loads more grunt than a 2.8 Lee with that majic alpina suspension. E36's where getting more gentlemans express when the M-power cars where going more hard core.

check this though, i so want it. If i hadn't buried myself in the C2 i'd have enough money!

Mate, that's a weapon!

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed with the 2.8, but that inlet manifold on them is ridiculous, so it's no wonder they feel a bit out of puff. Mind you, i'm obviously more used to kickdown on a 4.0 V8 auto

What a beast that touring must be! I had no idea they were ever made. The B3 3.0 does seem cheap, what sort of power do they give? Must be around 250 horse, at least?
