Pictures of Alpinas with just the ALPINA on the spoiler?

[Ryan Stewart]

Im just under 5" of clearance. I am running something close to the original Alpina hieght so its not too bad.

Is your car a real B6 or one you built?

[B6guy]

Ryan,
It is a real 1984 B6 2.8 #89 all as Alpina supplied it except that I have the front spoiler remove for regular driving. Yes and for some reason it is slightly lower than I think it should be in front dont know why because it has the original Alpina bilsteins and progressive springs, I have roughly 4 inches of clearance. Oh well.

I ran over a cat once in my dad's 535i. Wasn't the most exciting thing, I was doing about 35-40 - it came from my left (this was kind of on a 1.5 lane road) and I thought it would have stopped running, so I turned a little to the right real quick. But, no, the dumb thing kept running, and...thump, went right under my left tire...s. Yes, both.

But, I guess that's life, huh? :oops:

maybe CATKILA is a vanity plate.

How many HP is this mod worth? 60-70?


Meh, I might run the full deco set when the car goes in to get the body finished. Or I might just leave it off and run nothing (more likely).

That looks fuckin' awesome! Subtle... yet not so subtle. What's getting finished on the body?

Ryan that looks great...props on the well placed sticker

[Ryan Stewart]

Alpina rear spoiler, turn signal repeaters, shaving antenna, different rear apron, sideskirts, and repaint of the rest of the car (doors back that wasnt painted last fall.) along with removing dents and such.

That wont happen until the middle of summer when I can leave it in the garage for 3 weeks to let the paint cure so that I wont have to worry about rock chips.

Meh, I am indifferent on it. I'll keep it for a while and see what responses I get, this is one mod I am willing to get feedback on:

Ryan,

Which rear spoiler are you mounting? The boxy black one or the later e30 Alpina spoiler?

[Ryan Stewart]

AFAIK the later model is the only one left. Alpina no longer makes the parts so its a matter of what is left.

[Digitalwave]

I love the sticker, I say leave it.

[Dave]

Just curious. I picked up a good used one of the early model -- which is the one that goes with the early chrome bumpered versions AFAIK.

Be sure to get us more pics once you get that mounted.

Will do.

You gonna put that one on and shoot it soon?

[Dave]

Will probably be March or April before I get it done. I have a lot on my plate right now and the car is in heated storage for the winter. I have installed a new top, and have to do the t'belt/water pump thing. Also have Euro Bumpers and valance in the works, so it may be a bit before it comes back out to play. Just have to drive the Lexus for now. As soon as I have it done, I will definitely get some shots up here.
