You guys are really going to hate me now (Alpina Content)

Agreed. Update this biatch.

Update!! I'll donate one dollar to the paint job fund.

We could start a "Paint Tavern Gnomes Rare BMWs" fund! Unfortunately for him, I'm broke too (just dropped a fat wad on shit for the 6)... Who's first?

Hahaha well I certainly won't turn down money.... They'll get done guys! I swear! The Hartge will be ready for next years Picnic.

My friend Tim had a car IDENTICAL to yours only it was pristine. We took it out once on a cool november night after a local CCA meeting, he said the cool air was making it run just exponentially better, the ride gave me goosebumps

I almost bought that car after Tim brought it to the s14 sigfest few years ago, I loved it, the car was really awesome !

Also, I can't believe the prev owner let the car go that far, I mean it's number 95 of 500 and only a handfull of these in the US, how can you do that to the car? Hmmmm... but I guess, in the end, it all worked out good for you ! Restore it and enjoy it, it's an awesome car indeed, I love them, must be one of my top 3 favorite BMW models !

Sounds like you need to do some side work and paint my car to finish all these projects you got going. ;)

I pay $3 per hour including supplies. :p

Damn you Derek! $2.75 and you gotta deal!

[DarkWing6]

I'm going to assume you didn't mean to put the decimal in there and are talking $275 flat rate for the whole job.

You drive a hard bargain good sir, but I'll take it!

Mate that is a great looking B9, if you need some infos on B9 E28, one guy here in France is a specialist, he restored one, baught a second one, and he knows all about B9s E28, he also speaks english. You can contact him, tell him I refered him to you...He can give you so much infos about B9s.

His name and Email on MP !

It will be very nice when finished...
As you are an Alpina owner, also you will have no trouble to mpurchase genuine Alpina parts from the factory, they allways ask for a proof of ownership, which I think is to keep Alpinas authentics.

By the way, a good set of those seats you have in your B9 worth aroune 3000 Euros in Europe ( around 4000 US$ ) so make sure you keep them in really nice and clean condition !!

Anyway hope you restore it soon, it will look gorgeous.
E28 rocks ! ditch the Hartge thing and concentrate on the proper Alpina stuff !! :p:p:hitler::D

Cheers from afellow Alpina owner
