i bought a 635csi yesterday, white, blue leather and manual with (apperantly) alpina B9 speck engine.
I'm well chuffed, been after one for a while but not gone for it because there all autos - so when a manual one turned up in paper the night after i post about converting one to manual i had to have look.
only thing is shes a bit scabby here and there, mostly round the back number plate and one of the rear arches but machanically its pretty sorted having had a curse word load of cash thrown at it by previous owner :-)
does anyone know if rear arches are available?
one other thing - ive now got to many cars so need to get rid of my a series metro (Please see my post in for sale section). it needs to go quick because the wife is slightly irate so I'm being genorous and giving it away!!!!
will sort out some pics somehow

well, to be honest I'm not 100% sure myself, i have not reseached fully yet. all i know is that the b9 was the E28 5 series based car (bout 500 made apprently) but this six i bought has recpets for a b9 ecu, alpina 280 cam, big vave head, 7th injector and 6 branch stainless manifold. it certaiinly makes all the right noises and goes like stink:-)
and yes its a major pimp machine, well happy

Sounds great mate. Mucho envious. Gotta be blue and red stripes on a white bimma, hopefully better than the ones Richard Hammond did on top gear

excellent work, fella! b9 is an e28 code and there was 2 of 'em. first was 3453cc second was 3430cc,all shared following spec- comp. 10.2:1, 245ps and I can't find any more in the alpina book 0-60 of 6.8s for uk spec, 6.4s german spec. try bmw for rear arches, some times they are stupid cheap on old car pieces

Very nice. Need to see pics. Should be getting mine on friday. (about bloody time ) There was a pair of arches and a sill sold on ebay for £85 a couple of weeks ago, so its probably worth keeping an eye out on there as well.

top stuff, just been out looking at the situation now. rear vallance is non to great too. DOH! the car has so many bills from fritz bits- its unreal. its had alot of work since 03, mainly machanical but body wise (apart from arches, vallance, no plate area :-( )its just got some scabs round the trim hear and there - i think with it being white it shows it up like mad.
in with the massive file of bills was a brief spec sheet claiming 265bhp! but theres no rolling road pint to back it up. its also claims to have M6 brakes but they feel like blocks of wood! ill have to check it out properly think there might be somthing up in that department. allthough it has still got a long mot?
I'm not driven it at the moment, gonna put it to one side and save some money back up so i can get it fully leagal and buy the arches and a few other bits and bobs - and then ive still got loads and loads of work to do on the mini :-(
promise ill get some pics soon
