C2 price check

Post Sat Jun 10, 2006 11:35 am

i've just been offered a f reg C2 in black 108k fsh. not yet seen the car but i've been told its in good condition. whats something like that worth?

Post Sat Jun 10, 2006 11:42 am

I know of a D-reg minter which went for Ã‚£5k recently; so no more than that!

All depends on condition.

Engine must be good. Get compression checked.

If it's super mint and has all the Alpina bits then you could pay upto 6k.

It's difficult to put a value on Alpina's, they are worth what people are willing to pay for them. Some people will pay silly money and others won't pay any more than what a 325i SE is worth.

all this is true but find another one, it's hard work most are sheds now robbed of all their important parts

rust and crashes have seen a good few off, i wonder how many are left now 25-30?

Hi,is this car a C2 2.5 or a C2 2.7? There is a very big difference in spec and and value between the two!!

It is so so hard to find a decent one now.

The good ones are being held onto by their owners.

Get a good one and it will really bring a smile to your face.

Finding a H27 is an impossible task!

I remember Geoffs H26 and that was simply brilliant.

Never been in a proper sorted H27 which actually puts down the power.

Well if you want to slum it later in the summer in an H27 Cab......be my guest......

Post Sun Jun 11, 2006 9:57 pm

That would be great Iain.

I look forward to it.

no ...not yet

fingers crossed for today.... could someone tell me what the main differences are between the base 325i and the alpina. what should i be looking out for

Post Tue Jun 13, 2006 11:57 am

Dash plaque, obviously. LOTS of paperwork, with any luck. If you can see them, or ask the owner to point out, the four digit number stamped onto the head; should be at the front on the inlet side, but quite well hidden by the inlet manifold.

Just make sure everything's there, really - steering wheel, gear knob, dials (possibly) should all be Alpina, wheels of course, front spoiler and side skirts although these were all options and could be just M-Tech II stuff.

Beyond that, it's the usual things you'd check when buying a Sport. Get some pics!

engine number on the service booklet should correspond with the chassis no. Also should state Mr. Mark Adkin built it as he was the techy at synters who did all the mechanical fitting

unlike normal bm's which have a number for each.

There should be on the block down the bottom C2 27 then engine number stamped on it. Again inlet side

Thats good advice.

BTW dash plaques are now available via ebay - basically blanks but they will punch whatever detail you want on them. So follow all the above advice to be sure.
