I know what you are saying but a Sytner C1 Alpina is just a 323i with a Pallet of Alpina parts sent over which and bolted on at a Dealership. The B6 on the other hand is a different ball game. You are right i have built a replica but this was my first E21 and got sucked into the whole "alpina" thing. In fact, i am considering removing the Deko and having the car repainted in the spring. For me now, its all about getting the cleanest E21 323i about.e30racer wrote:Is that why ya built a replica? Anyway wasnt B6 around 3 yrs before m535's were and as someone whos owned n raced both an e12 is no way 10 times the car. Testers of the time said about the balance alpina got with the m30'd cars and spose thats why there popular for e30 swaps to. Depends if ya want cars to drive or to try and make dough on?Mobster wrote: but for me a C1 E21 isnt "really" an Alpina
For me the E12 M30 weight to power ratio up front works much better than an E21 but this is my own personal opinion.
