have a e30 for breaking but want to know if a log book would say alpina on it instead of bmw 325i ect.

not sure if it is a rep or original, has the alpina plaque and all the bits but no paperwork.

if its genuine i might repair the shell and sell it on for a re shell but need to apply for a log book to check unless someone knows another way?

Mine is c2.5, not the c2.7 so it's still approx 2500cc, listed as 2500cc on the v5. Not sure if the 2.7s are different.

The thing you need is info from Synters to confirm it was a genuine alpina conversion, give them the reg and they should confirm. If it's a left hooker, it won't have come from them,they did the uk Alpina conversions.
