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!

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.

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
