    i really don't think so. the only parts I see that are Alpina-spec are the decals, emblems, and maybe the exhaust. Otherwise it looks like a 635csi to me.

      I'm gonna say no. You can email the vin to Alpina and have an answer in a few days.

        I'm trying to see if the cluster have the ALPINA decal, plus I don't see the red needles, sporty seats and such things.

          Not thinkin' so... the lack of any overt Alpina interior goodies seals it for me...

            Everything is wrong about it. Looks like a poor attempt. It should say Alpina right across the bottom of the tach. At least my B9 does.

              My guess would be "no". Usually Alpinas have a registry plate somewhere (often in the center console) and they have more goodies than that. I guess it is possible that this car was sent off to Alpina for the addition of spoilers and decals. I'd check the motor too. If it's a standard looking M30 (ie. no give-a-ways like exhaust manifolds/headers) I'd bet it's just a standard car with some Alpina bonuses.

              Pretty though.

                Alpina in six series aren't B6 model unlike B10? As well were turboed or not exactly?

                  The only %100 sure way to tell is check the block for the Alpina cast number on it.

                  In my opinion, no, it's an attempt at a replica.

                      Yes, it is. See, it says Alpina right on it.

                          yeah interior has nothing alpina in it, not even the cluster which is a big give away.

                            I like the "USA" labeled trans temp gauge for all that allpeena power being slammed into the torque converter.
