I've brought a e30 touring and it has a coupe of alpina stickers in the door shuts and an alpina plack on the centre console plus a few alpina interior parts a lsd how do I find out if it came with these from new or they have been added at a later date. I was told the car was a standard touring but then the first owner had it spec'd up before he collected it new how can I find out if that is true

Probably 'brung' from Brumijum or High Wycombe or perhaps even Liverpool...
