I gotta know what you paid for it and what we think it is worth. Sorry, but it makes the whole story so much more interesting to me :)

Now THIS is the type of thread that I love to read. I really am joining you in the excitement dude.
What a great find and sub'd.
I'd plan to change every belt and hose, hoses especially they will eventually begin to break and cause air leaks and fluid leaks. Trust me I have an antique engine too:)My old Style 5 Thread / My Swap

Because you are local I expect to see the car one day. Thinking Lake Mirror (concours?) and Fields Lakeland Concours.
Keep us posted and enjoy!
Originally posted by BlackbirdM3 View PostNice find, and it looks to be a pretty easy revival. Clean it up, and take care of it. I look forward to seeing future posts.
WillOriginally posted by bootlegskate View Postawesome find! good luck with the revival, seems like you have a good handle on it already. I just picked up an e30 M3 and going through the same maintenance stuff since it was sitting for 5 years.Originally posted by mr2peak View PostReally hope you do a full proper refresh/resto. Nice find!
Originally posted by Habla View PostI'd have this over an e30 m3 any day. Awesome car!

Originally posted by B6guy View PostCongrats on the purchase I am glad to see you are getting the car back in shape. Also, nice to see another E30 B6 2.8 owner. I own #89.
Originally posted by Van Westervelt View PostAwesome find! I was looking forward to this thread after seeing the initial pictures! Keep her alive!
Putting all the bits together slowly on my sedan turned Alpina is not nearly as fun as this one.Originally posted by keefy6 View PostNow THIS is the type of thread that I love to read. I really am joining you in the excitement dude.

I'd plan to change every belt and hose, hoses especially they will eventually begin to break and cause air leaks and fluid leaks. Trust me I have an antique engine too:)
And after seeing plenty Alpina tributes, IMO I welcome them, They're usually on the cleaner side from other projects I've seen.

Originally posted by frankie591 View PostBeautiful car! What colour is it?Originally posted by Stanley Rockafella View PostOP, what is the factory color of this car?
I uploaded a few pics to showcase the similarites/differences of them. Lighting plays a major factor so i tried to get different angles/amounts of light in:
What color do you think would suit the car more?
Originally posted by Habla View PostThat ac system is funky though, can you change it out for stock e30 stuff with an m30 compressor?Originally posted by efficient View PostVery nice car. That a unit looks like ghetto.Originally posted by Stanley Rockafella View Postprobably the same you or I would pay to give a regular e30 a few maintenance items.
Shame about the ghetto a/c system thoOriginally posted by kronus View Postalso that AC install is the most ghetto thing I've ever seen. Shame they did that to an Alpina. Consider sourcing a normal condenser and compressor bracket and running it like a regular M30 would.Originally posted by flyboyx View Postthe engine is in position 1 with custom alpina radiator fitting inside the radiator core support. i think it would be a tough sale to get a condenser and fan in between the radiator and the grille. not saying it can't be done, just saying that with the configuration at hand, there probably isn't room with stock parts.Originally posted by scoobydo View PostPosition 1 with the Alpina Radiator that sits inside the front mask you will need a very slim condensor to fit it up front, hence the ghetto job done here. I had an M30 in position 1 with AC, pump is not an issue as standard M20 will fit I believe but I have side mounted condensors.
Update #1
Fuel pump! Had to wait a few days for the new pump to come in. The car wasn't able to rev up and be held [let's say @ 3krpm] for more than 3 seconds before billowing out.
What a contraption [I've only ever delt with late models ]
Pulled the old pump from that.. Bracket.. Rubber.. Thing?
The side by side
All back ready for install with new hoses
Threw it back in, ready for another test drive
I was tempted to give a nice WOT being that we're on a lime stone road, but thought not to.
I have a friend with an E30 M3 to save that for
-Pretty sure a few revs would be welcomed as well
And that typical *Temp gauge not moving tap* is hilarious. Who doesn't do it?

4 digit price....ugh...even a steal at 9999.99.
Hope you guys like the lot:
To show how little to no rust the car is, i'd say this would be a spot to show signs. Tracks look immaculant in person:
Sorry if i missed out anyone, thanks for all the kind words and support!sigpic
