Looks like the shafts have full movement, but i'd be worried about diff temps, especially on a car without the bigger fins.
Does the exhaust obstruct airflow to the fins?

No, there's plenty of flow and movement despite how close that pic makes it seem.

He found me Ayd', via Pistonheads. Have asked him for a bit more detail and if he has any more pics?

I got a pleasant surprise in the post today. A selection of information showing what was on offer from TWR / Alpina and the prices. I also got confirmation that my car was the only e21 to be supplied with the 240 bhp spec engine as the demonstrator was built with a factory spec engine. If anyone wants to know more detail I can type the lists out in full?
