E23 alpina b9

[alpina123]

Anyone know of these and are they rare?

[DanThe]

A loved E23 in general is a rare turd really

[alpina123]

Haha true but I know where there is one sat up and was just wondering if they were rare being an alpina as there isn't much on the web about them?

[bss325i]

UK only model and VERY rare!

[alpina123]

Okay cheers Barry it is manual do they all have doglegs and what engine does it actually have do you know? Is it an m30?

[alpina123]

I'd does need work so anyone know what I should roughly.be paying bearing in mind t needs a full repaint?

[bss325i]

Is it a B9 or B10?

Both M30, one is 245bhp and the other 260bhp.

I think they are dog leg.

Body condition is paramount as well as retaining all its Alpina parts.

Hard to value without pics and details like mileage, history and more importantly, the above!

[Rodderz]

Where is the car?

[alpina123]

Pretty sure it is a b9 but couldn't be 100% it has sat but isn't rot will need painting and all the alpina bits are present

[Hoobs]

You'd be better off buying this and swapping all the good bits over.

B9 is a European Alpina model and was available throughout Europe, the B10 was a UK only car, most were manual although a few auto's were built. But a UK B9 is a rare piece.

If its a manual, it'll have a std BMW 5 speed (unless it was spec'd with a dogleg).

If its the one I'm thinking of then its been sat for a number of years and is in poor condition underneath, but its all complete. Is it black (or dk blue?) with Alpina recaro int by any chance?)

As for a value, its anyone's guess, if this was to be seen by some of our Euro compatriot's then they'd pay top dollar for it. But you could be looking at something like £2.5k+ and be prepared to pay huge sums to restore the body as its second to the e24 where rust is concerned. These also run piggy back ECU's so differ from the e23 B10 and finding another if the Alpina one goes pop would prove to be a nightmare.

[alpina123]

It is a b9 yes and it is manual but has no interior in its don't know I this has been taken out and stored yet

The E23 ALPINA is utterly rare,, the old man .. didnt like them,, and BMW made the 745.. so there was not actually a gain to go,,vs the 745 ,, back in the days,, except with a huge cost,, and little gain
