seems like a badge job mostly, should be slightly higher spec than most of the frag going about tho.

They are a Uk only car so Sytner, L&C or John clark dealers.

Basically an early E36 325i with Alpina wheels, steering wheel, gear knob, front and rear spoilers, a pair of Alpina spec cams, exhaust and remapped DME.

They used M techinc suspension instead of Alpina and an LSD was a common option. All other E36 options were available.

Been a few on the bay in the last 12 months.

Cheers Barry- Worth owning then, or a bit of an unloved version of the e36?
