Hello After a chance meeting in a Pub where someone was admiring the e12 I also have, we got talking about the B3 that he has and the fact it might be coming up for sale after 8 years of ownership and very little use. Roll on three months and a drunken encounter at a musical festival and i picked up the ALPINA yesterday. Just a smidge over 107K with full service history and a bible of receipts confirming the provenance of it. It is number 340 on the plaque and is a stunning car, the only thing to fault is the usual BMW ripped bolster so a refurb is on the cards over winter. Enjoy the photos...

Very nice!
There was a shabby B2.5 coupe in white on ebay recently with the full conversion provenance from Sytner. It was going for £1500 - I wish I had the means / space to buy it.
The conversion made it more expensive than a new M3 at the time!

Congratulations - That is a very nice car and as ^ says, it was a very expensive car new.
The number plates are original too. It looks a very nice project....

I purchased the B3 of a gentleman called Carl, who this evening turned up in his new acquisition which I will post a picture of tomorrow.
Needless to say it is a B3 3.2 convertible .... It is jaw dropping. These Cars or well within reach and very desirable. I will post a picture of the pair soon....

Wow, an Alpina is one of the coolest cars in my book, and i'm no BMW fan. They are so classy. Please keep it (near) stock.

Here's a picture of my friends cab..  My plans for the B3 are to keep it stock but just keep it clean and get the front seats recovered. |

sorry to drag this topic back up but that looks to be an excellent looking B3. Interesting to see it wearing M3 mirrors and clear indies and on an M plate, so is this a 3.0 or the 3.2? Also the front spoiler differs from mine (which is a discussion in its own!) but it looks good.
Whats the interior? leather or cloth and is it calypso red? I have a 3.0 B3 in the same colour and have been toying with the deko set for a while, but I think I may leave it off for now as I'm sure this is how it was ordered in 95.
I'll post this onto the facebook page for the B3 as its nice to see a B3 being used.
But on the back of this, if anyone fancies a black 4 door saloon B3 switchtronic then there is a guy on the facebook page who is reluctantly having to sell his, Its an earlier car than this one.

I'm afraid I don't know Ian, however it's a great spot to sit in the summer as we get some weird and wonderful machinery passing!
