We have an exciting episode today! A very special car(or 2) have arrived from Germany after a long awaited import process. My 1988 BMW Alpina B3 2.7 is finally here in the United States! According to the Alpina Archive, potentially the only one here in the US. Excited is an understatement. So lets unload it, and check this beautiful car out now that it has arrived here at my shop. Lots more to come with these cars, stay tuned!!

Ended up with engine issues, started the rebuild (M20 stroker 2.7, 288 cam) then had kids and ran out of disposable income. Been sitting in my garage, or being towed on a trailer since 2013. One day... One day....

  • All Alpina cars have BMW VIN numbers crossed out as the body has always started life as a regularBMW and went into storage. Then at a later point in the production process the car was picked to be an Alpina.and the VIN was then replaced in Buchloe at Alpina. Even modern Alpinas have the VIN crossed out and have an additional ALPINA VIN underneath

  • the vin with a cross was not a mistake, thats how it went back in the days. Alpina wasnt from BMW but a own car construction company ( no tuner ). They bought the cars or chassis from BMW and than made them in to their own.

  • In few years you will replace the driver seat it has too much power for a small car fantastic car in Southern Africa we call that beast. Big by the ear and small by thee eye. Meaning it’s sound like a big muscle a far but small when you see it. It has a unique exhaust sound if stage one. Enjoy it don’t sell it now keep it for at least four years you won’t regret it
