Help!

[Sparkysparks]

Hi, i need some help. Im always hearing about alpinas and ac schnitzers, seen them on the zone, but ive never seen them driving around, and i cant find any to buy. Im told they have massive engines like 3.5L or something. Are they turbo'd? does this make them faster than an M3? i have no idea.
If someone could shed some light on this, it would be excellent.

Oh and Hartage aswell. i dont know what that is.

[Sparkysparks]

No help. Thanks alot guys.

Im not the best person to help you on this but i do know they are all usally normally aspirated engines. When you say are they faster than an m3, Which m3 do you mean. If its the e30 m3 it came in m3, m3 evo and m3 evo sport. The evo sport the best one. For more information you're best waiting for someone else to give you the low down on engine sizes of alpina's and hartge's etc and power ouputs.

Alpina was 2.7 and had 210hp and much better torque than an M3. There were quite a few varients of the M3 Evo sport, cecotto etc. I'm not too sure about hartge and ac-snitzer i think they did a 2.7 aswell.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but the question you're asking is one that only a handful of people would know.

To ask the question and then come back 24 hrs later with the sarcastic comment of:

No help. Thanks alot guys.

is neither going to win you a lot of friends nor endear you to others that may be in a position to help you when you have a problem in the future.

This is a nice friendly forum (with one or two unfortunate exceptions) so chill a bit, eh m8?

Are you capable of using a search engine on the internet? If so you would be able to find out all about these cars, without getting the hump.

Heres more information on them

[Sparkysparks]

I was at the south mimms convoy to santa pod. Only one guy Theo spoke to me, then when they all left, they lost me on the first roundabout. Didnt go in the end. Thanks for the help on the varients guys.

[Falkster]

I dont think it will be a case of them blanking you or losing you on purpose, you just need to get stuck in when you first meet people.

I have been to a few BMWCC meets and yeah there can be some tossers with their heads up their arses but for the most part they are really good blokes but unless you go out of your way to talk to them theyre not gonna drag you in.

[Sparkysparks]

Yeah i know. Im just naturally shy though, its bad really. None of my mates went with me either. I was all alone. I would have been like that at pod aswell, ill have to get stuck in next time then.
