Re: E9x B3 buying guide

Thanks so much for going to the effort of posting this, it is really helpful and I am sure will help others in the future. I assume these costs are for parts and DIY rather than using parts and labour? No worries wanted to be helpful as i could and also please again don't let all this put you off t...

Re: E9x B3 buying guide

Probably a case that Faisal was unlucky but when you’re talking about such a small sample size for ALPINA B3’s with an N54 engine any occurrence results in a disproportionately higher probability of it happening to another. ALPINA stuck with the N54 throughout its evolution of E9x B3 models. https:...

Re: Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo E90 Saloon Engine Rebuild - No. 104 - Picture HEAVY

A bit off topic but in 1981 I chose a Mitsubishi Lancer EX2000 Turbo as a company car Boy this made me laugh, we had a Lancer, Starion and Galant all with that same engine. I passed my test in a Colt Sigma that ended up with a 4G63 engine left over from the '84 touring car season. Still got the eng...

Re: Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo E90 Saloon Engine Rebuild - No. 104 - Picture HEAVY

What a cracking job you've done. Painful but ultimately satisfying I guess. Can you reveal costs and what it would have been at a main dealer so we can offer even more respect? Didn't realise the turbos were Mitsubishi. Good kit in my experience. A bit off topic but in 1981 I chose a Mitsubishi Lan...

If this had leather, i would have been all over it.....Even with the risk of the Diesel ban.
If you got it at the right price you could always have the seats re-upholstered in leather.... Also i think the cloth seats are a bit special as they are so rare.
