Hartge or Alpina

[318i1985]

I want to build my car as a Hartge or Alpina clone, (yeah flame on :firehop: , it will have the power to back it up with a turbo on that M10).

Which one is your favorite, as far as looks? I love the subtlety of the Hartge and the fact not many cars are dressed like that (like Kopis are on so many e30s). But I love how mean the Alpina looks! Any suggestions?

For comparison

I've always perferred the Hartge kit over the alpina.

Not to throw cold water on you, but just where exactly are you planning on purchasing either kit?

Or, are you just planning on getting an eBay knock-off?

Spending lots of time on the interweb, ebay.de and ebay.co.uk

The parts will be legit, it's just going to take time.

Also, if I do go Alpina, new parts can be had from KSK distributing.

hartge, alpina usually nice and clean, but just not feeling the e30 one

The alpina theme has been overplayed. I say be original and go Hartge.
