Alpina B6 3.5 Turbo Tribute

[e30m3s54turbo]

Raul: Just for my information, why does the throttle need to be twice as long? Radiator looks great, will need to replace mine sometime in the future.....have 16" hartges on the car now:)

Alpina routed the throttle intake to drivers side on early Alpina B6 2.8 and Alpina B6 3.5 from 1984-87. Here is a pic showing how it needs to snake around the Alpina intake.

Thanks, Lorin!

I wanted to compare stock e30 throttle cable to Alpina B6 throttle cable length. It is more than double the length of a e30 325.

yes

Cruse control is nice. I need to fix mine.

Rear fog lights? And what's in the box?

I will be doing rear fog lights. I will be using euro tail covers and wiring.

The box has a Alpina B6 throttle cable and cruise control cable. I made a mistake on ordering the cruise control. Looks like I will be adding cruise control on this project.

Sometimes trust is gained by project's effort's alone. I mean, he's gone there and back looking for correct parts, I give much credit there. :)

Hello Frank and Manny.

You two guys have the Alpina vent gauge on your e30 and working.

I have a question? The 3 wires that go to the ignition. The brown and green I do know where they go. It is the grey wire I'm not sure where it connects to head light dimer????

buy it! thank me later. im sure they would really help you
tidy up that wiring. Good luck with the build. i understand its a long process.

Thanks. I'm going to use electrical tap. I have 4 e30's and 2 other cars. I am always buying rare parts. Maybe that is why it taking long.
