Does Alpina beef up the 2.8's then? Can we speculate here what the selling price might be? |
Its kind of like a special Alpina tuned bmw, kind of how the ///M division would take BMW's models, tune them, with trim, engine, wheels, suspension, brakes etc and put their badge on it, at first ///M division wasn't a part of BMW. (I am totally shooting off the top of my head so someone can correct me if I am wrong!)
Alpina cars were more "cruiser"ish than the regular ones BMW models with typical more HP, trim, suspension, wheels etc. While the ///M models were more top of the line performance models. (Look it up for more accurate info! There is information out there about all of this!)
For example in the above mentioned e36 wagon (part of the speciality/rarity is that it is a WAGON!!!! We never got wagons in the U.S.) the m52 was modded by Alpina to put out 240hp. (kind of like our s52, but I don't think there was a displacement increase) I think this combo of wagon + Alpina e36 only had like 147?? or 137??? something like that models made in the world.
Value wise, it depends on the person but if you look at that he wants to trade it for, maybe that will help determine what he sees it is worth.
https://www.alpina-automobiles.com/e...-3-series-e36/ Woah!! I just checked the Alpina site with models, the link is above, it doesn't look like they made a B6 wagon? Only sedan, coupe and convertible ? ??
Now I am confused.
This one:
http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/wag...6-2-8-touring/ seems like the same one too?
Ah never mind, clarity on the B6 touring:
