Alpina C2 2.7

[FASTFREDDIE]

proper ! i want one

[Fal_325i]

SUBLIME!, Can you send me your address so I can come and raid your garage. Stunning bit of kit. I'd have one any day of the week over an M3. For me it would have to be a manual though, although this is the only variant of an auto I would have in the e30 range. I WANT I WANT I WANT. If I ever win the lottery I will be coming down with a big wad of cash.

James visits me often in this and it is as good as it looks.

Odd question did you change the cluster or dials and needles? I am sure in the first pics you had white needles on a plane e30 cluster face and then in the later ones I see red needles on the Alpina dial faces.

It's making me want to put red/orange needles back on my current dials.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR!!

Finally got round to fitting some smoked hellas after finding a set recently,

While the lights were being changed, i decided to get some new headlight wash, wiper arms, the olds ones were looking tired and would have let the new lights down.

A few pictures taken with the camera phone,

[Rodderz]

IMO it looks best left standard!

Good move.They do tend to tidy the front up a bit imho.
Nice car btw!

[BMJG]

Looks very tidy like it

Have to say, this car makes me moist. Very sweet. however, not sure on the smoked lights. maybe a step too far?

Still wouldn't say no though.

[spook]

Proper smoked Hellas are the nuts, sweet car

+1 on that

the car is simply stunning

one thing though would it be possible for you to let mehave the measurements of the center arm rest pad? & also the mounting bracket? i only ask as i have given up trying to find a genuine one & decided to get one made up.

almost forgot any body got any idea where i can get the foam from? good start i know lol.

sorry for the thread hijack.

once again stunning car.

Thanks for the positive comments and all the opinions.....i realise the smoked lights arn't to everyones taste, i don't think the dull pictures do them justice tbh.

As regards the armrest, i think they are still availible from BMW?, or they were up untill a few years ago??

Cheers

[Kedge]

Lovely looking car, really does look a proper mean E30.

Smoked Hellas are always an improvement in my opinion, mine have ended up on several of my E30's.

Not sure if the armrest are still available from BMW though, there is always the odd one popping up for sale, always seem to fetch £100+ though.

[pegase747]

A far as the headlights are concerned i will put back my original french yellow lights on, as the car was delivered like that, as proven of my Alpina receipt of delivery.

look retro cool to me !

Pierre

[Kedge]

Oh i do like yellow headlights strangely, they hard to get hold of in France?

[pegase747]

I guess they are easy to get as everybody wants smoked with angeleyes, which I hate.

Cheers Pierre

[Kedge]

If you come across a nice set let me know

[pegase747]

ebay.fr might help or go to www.leboncoin.fr and type in :
phares jaunes BMW E30

lets not hijack this thread anymore for the sake of the original poster. MP me if you need more info.

cheers Pierre

[e30topless]

James the grille badge looks crap wonky, sort it or i will rip it off next time i see it !

the Hellas look great fella

[oi_oi_savaloy]

Epic car sir. Just Epic. If I had a cap to doff, a doffing I would do!

Bit of an update to the thread, it’s been a while....
Engine bay is getting there, a new Auto/AC radiator has given it another lift. The rocker/valve cover is just missing it Castrol oil/Alpina sticker”¦you can see where it would have been many years ago next to the oil cap when close, the dealer applied lacquer has left an imprint where it was before being removed.




The interior is wearing in nicely and starting to look a bit more OEM now, some nice grey leather additions from an auto motorsport cab have tied the centre console in a bit,


It got a wash for the show at Tatton






The car is going to get some more bodywork and paint over the winter, currently collecting the parts in preparation. I’ve also got some Sytners Pfeba/Alpina spec side skirts which are painted and ready to go on.


The nice weather meant the cabby saw some daylight for the first time in about a year and got a wipe over.



and even the daily got a clean....

Lovely, Awsome selection of e30s

[bss325i]

As always the C2 looks awesome!

More pics of the cabrio though!

Is it a genuine Hartge and if so which model? H26? H27?

Cheers,
Its a H3, based on a 320...a recommended approach for the 320, h26 style cylinder head conversion, with bored out combustion chambers etc, goes well for a B20. Originally a German car.

[bss325i]

Interesting! So its LHD then? Any more pics?

[sweep]

Its right hand drive and as good as it looks barry,ive just fitted a hartge rocker cover on it.

[Eddie25]

Really like the Alpina badge on the middle of the snow plough, I actually prefer it to the full decal kit. Is it the Alpina boot badge that is used?

[jlb]

I'll get some more pics of the cab when the weather pics up.

Yeah most use a script boot badge, but a sticker of similar size is included in the decal set along with stripes for the front spoiler.

[e30topless]

Great pics James

the cabby is a real peach , just a shame it doesn't get out much !
