ever since i bought my first e30, i fell in love with alpina e30s. i just dig everything about them. so, about 2 years ago, i decided to build my own tribute and started collecting parts. mostly ebay.de and uk, but anywhere i can get my hands on something useful. i decided that the ultimate car is one that alpina most likely never produced. they had an m3 version called a b6 3.5s. i am going a step further and plan to build a b6 3.5s convertible. i haven't had a lot of time to work on the car, but when i finish with this home renovation that has been taking up all my spare time for the last year and a half, i am going to hit the car hard. a project build thread will follow.
the vent gauge just arrived in the mail the day before yesterday.
since m3 verts came from the factory with no spoiler, i felt the alpina type 157 would be appropriate. i plan to strip the vinyl off the hardtop and paint it the body color.
i had a cow catcher front valace but i sold it because 3.5s's used the factory m3 bumper. i think it will last longer since it doesn't stick down as far and will be less likely to get broken. i also had an alpina dash cluster, but i ended up selling that because i elected to go with the m3 cluster instead.
in addition to what is pictured above, i also have a finned diff cover, a set of e36 factory alpina wheels (from the uk) and a few other things. i still need a handful of items, but most of the big stuff is ready to be put on the car when i have time for it.
here is my donor car. yes it was wrecked in the rear, but it came with an extra set of quarter panels and a good rear bumper. i don't care that the five lug suspension is missing because i already have mz3 5 lug from my s52 part out.
