Opinions on the Alpina E30 m3 b6 3.5s

[death]

I was given some info on a white counselled B6 3.5 someone has been spotted around the slough area. Anyone here?

I remember seeing one sitting like a garden gnome....

what condition was it in

"COUNSELLED" should give you a clue to the condition LOL

[Fastroad]

That's the lower half of an E34 Alpina spoiler lashed onto an M3 front bumper.

ie, not a genuine article.

If i'm not mistaken, that car in the picture has a B10 Bi turbo engine and various E34 dash parts nailed onto and E30 dash.

Yes that's the one with the E34 Bi-turbo fitted 360bhp standard I believe and correct about the bumper.

[Simon13]

better off leaving it all in the car it came in originally imo.




That bumper is off a V8 alpina of some sorts as it has the brake ducts. Looks all a bit of a lash up with the e36 wheels.

[ah]

lets have it then,

I took these at rockingham in 2003. Along with Kelsons they are the only 2 I've been lucky enough to see in the flesh











Car had a quite a story to tell (nothing bad like write offs) and has been featured over the years

This was the zone in its infancy!

That's right on the money!

Didn't know Kos had B6 3.5s

It has an Alpina B6 engine in from what I heard.

[Andyboy]

The B6S will just crucify an M3. They sound epic and handle nicely but are a bit overgeared. Until you've driven one you can't really say you'd rather have the S14. Let's face it, a modern 320d will give an E30 M3 a fright these days.

When it was white, it was an M3 with a standard 535i engine. Fast enough for what it was but missing 40-50 bhp.

"Truth be told brother."

[Speedtouch]

It would be interesting to try one fitted with a tuned Rover V8 for sake of comparison - lightweight all-alloy V8 versus cast iron boat anchor, but with the same 3.5-litre capacity.

[Andyboy]

The Rover V8 is best left in the BL chariot it left the factory in.

[Speedtouch]

True, but purely for sake of comparison to see how it went and handled in the B6, compared to the M30B35.

Of course, one would have to fit the fabled Vitesse twin-phlegm version, allegedly good for 210-220bhp, about the same as the standard M30B35...

But you asked to see a "Modified Rover V8", and against a modifeid M30, no where near.

The m30 is simply an epic monster of an engine and those that think a poxy hair dryer of a s14 is anywhere close need to wake up and smell the coffee

They may do, but over the years, they have'nt yet.

Have you driven an S14 powered E30?

[jimbom30cab]

No , ops. . . I got back from the pub and was being a bit larey !

I'd love to drive one. . . Maybe one day

[ajay]

C'mon guys you cannot compare an S14 to an M30 they are both great engines, but designed for different use. You wouldn't run a marathon in walking boots! Exactly,they both do the job they were designed to well, and both have a huge following! But not by me.
