Alpina B6 3.5 Turbo Tribute

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Is it getting spark or fuel? I know mine didn't start cause I goofed up and hooked fuel lines up backwards. Since your car sat id start with a compression and fuel pressure test. As Well to see if its getting spark. Good luck hopefully you get her to fire up.

When I pulled the engine wire harness off motor I noticed one of the power wires was not bolted to power. My buddy Frank came by to check out engine wire harness to see it was working connections and ecu. After a couple hours we got power to ignition and relays. Next week will play around with fuel injection.

Frank and I were checking out the Alpina big brake kits that are on picnic table. One of the Alpina BBK is not in pic. They are on a e30.

Ah i see.

Hey where did you get that Alpina fabric ;)

[TimeMachinE30]

You have more BBKs than E30s.

What is the next E30? An MK? Another ACS?


Ah, I need to get mine finished.

Frank bought from your friend in Europe.

I found a silver 1989 325i coupe. I am trying to buy it. It will be Hartge H27 or H35?

Any more up dates on your project?

I know he called me and I set up the order. Glad it got there with no issues.

It is alive. It started up. I have some small issues to address.

Hey raul, so happy to hear that that thing is finally running. Any chance of a vido of the alpina doing alpina things?
