Alpina m-tech 1?

[elguapo84]

Did such a thing exist? Check out these pictures from the UK:





So what's the story, is it real? Or did someone brand a custom Alpina badge on their m-tech 1 valence?

I thought Alpina made its own things, I am pretty sure that is just a decal or brand of some sort.

I could be wrong though. IMO I think it is just an Mtech-1?

Yeah, that's what I thought...it's just strange to me because it actually looks pressed in due to the lighting. Seems like the sort of custom work that would come from a tuner, so I had to ask.

anyone else have an opinion?

You know, If Alpina Purchased a car...

Perhaps an Mtech1 car? Maybe for a show and had their logo pressed into kit?
Maybe it could be posible?

I am just not sure becuase Alpina was its own company and made its own things, just look at this pic I am going to post none of the logos are pressed in they are all decals.

Maybe Someone had a custom brand kit made, who knows. Definatly a cool piece though.

yea...I'm trying to convince dude to ship it to me...my car is lachsilber, so it's even the right color. Just need to get myself a set of Kopis - or better yet, real Alpinas - to match.

Look at this see how they are all stickers essentially?



which leads me to believe it is custom somehow

I have seen a few Alpina M tech I pics. they did have alpinas ordered that the people didnt want the PLOW on the front--- but alll of the pics I have seen- they didnt have alpina on the M tech I valance.

so I would bet it is a fake.

[elguapo84]

interesting...do you think it's a fake m-tech 1 front, or a real one with some custom work done to it?

[mikeedler]

I imagine its a real M tech 1 with some custom work done to it.

It's a mtech1 with an Alpina sticker.
