I'm happy with what the car sold for. It's actually what I wanted to sell it for (mind you I'm still losing money). The car is going to a guy who seems excited to own it and take care of it. He's picking it up later today.
Ask me later this afternoon how I feel. It'll be 5 years worth of effort and memories driving off. Not sure how I'm going to react.

They push hard for a low reserve which I can understand.
I would guess the final price on your car should encourage realistic reserves and maybe see more swapped E30s listed.1991 318iC

They basically had told me to list mine for about the same as what yours sold for, but I wanted to wait until it was CA legal because I knew it would go for over 10k but luckily I came to my senses before all thatSimon

Sounds like the tranny swap used a regular g260, which will affect performance over the close ratio that Alpina normally put behind their 2.71991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

...it's all about timing on BAT. You need to have two buyers that really want it. Otherwise, it'll get lost in the shuffle. Ideally, BAT should limit how many similar models are listed, but they seem not to give a rats ass about that.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

Reading the receipt from the C2, Charging for shop materials did they keep track of how many gloves they used and how many paper towels. No mention of changing head gasket since they changed the head bolts. Also found it interesting that the car has power windows all the way around, since most Alpina's were based on the cheapest 316 then adding the engine, so they had a variety of options when it came to windows.

Though by '86, they were probably pulling in 325i's. If I recall it wasn't until 87 or 88 that they finally worked a deal with BMW to receive Bodies in White.
I'm impressed with the sellers showing of all the usual rust spots for E30's, and it looks pretty dang good. Honestly, it's worth the money it's at right now, or even a little more..1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

...they didn't use 316's. It was either 323's or 325i.. Remember, they got the 325i model many years before the US.
I have pretty decent records of C2 2.7's, and a few I have the striked out BMW VIN (this is the vin of the car before Alpina did their mods and striked out the vin in the cowl and applied their own vin to the shock tower.) One I happen to have is from a 1986 car, last 7: 0900792. This did indeed begin life as a 325i (02/86) before being converted to a C2 2.7.. Or take C2 2.5 #36, started life as a 323i (original striked out vin of 7543859) produced in 05/85.
If you look at a Bill of sale from Alpina, it would often say the base price of the BMW model that was used, and it was often a 323i/325i..1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)
