What's your favorite E30-era tuning house?

That is my exact thought! I feel like Alpina has the absolute coolest body parts ever!

[nando]

ACS has the best wheels
RD has some of the best performance parts
Alpina has the best styling/interiors

really though, an all-matching, period correct car from any of the major tuners would be pretty sweet. I like them all. :)

Alpina although as pointed out above they are not a tuner per se.

Just curious, but why is it not considered a tuner? They would get my vote if they were a tuner. Otherwise I like Ac Schnitzer, the stripe packages just look so cool!

I have a bunch of hartge parts.
That being said, My vote goes with AC Schnitzer, the company I only have one part from. A shift knob from an S3

Has anyone in BMW history done the things that Alpina has done, stylisitically or mechanically? Cool pole, vote cast.

Dinan, I just love the work they do I guess.

Mostly because of this car.

1. Hartge
2. Alpina
3. Racing Dynamics
4. Dinan
5. AC Schnitzer


In this order for me..

Can we get picture and detail references?

[robrez]

ACS is my vote. I know it isn't supposed to be a comprehensive list, but Hardy & Beck would be another contender. BTW, this thread is begging for pics.

[antil33t]

ACS, only cause' I'm a fanboy.

[reelizmpro]

ACS all the way. Technically, Alpina is not a tuner!


I cannot find the other pics of the ACS S3 2.5 based on the M3. It's a black M3 with 3 pc ACS wheels. It really got me into E30 M3's back in the day.
