Itching to buy an Alpina B3

Elan · Post by **Elan** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:43 pm

Hello everyone, I have always wanted to own an Alpina but never happened. I have owned a number of BMWs and currently also have an E46 M3. I would love a C2 as I like the E30s but not many for sale or quite expensive.

I am interested in the B3 for sale on Ebay. Have anyone here owned this car or know more details about this? Also what would be a reasonable price if the car is in aveage condition?

Thanks in advance

Welcome on board, the car is on the Register with the previous owner in 2010, but no details to speak of. The prev owners email is available on the register so you could give him mail to see what history it had with him

Hi Elan and welcome to the Register.

The car you are looking at is on the Register but with very few details. The last update of the entry was in January 2012, presumably for a change of ownership.
The current bid seems quite reasonable but who knows how the auction will end???
Good luck with your search.

Hi, Not sure what your budget is but I think this is a real bargain
at the moment.

Thanks guys I will try sending the owner an email for further details. I thought the B3 might be a good car to get me in to Alpinas.

Thanks. I got a bid on ebay so if it doesnt work out I will look at the one you sent. Thats a lovely colour combination!

Just curious how the B3s compare to the M3?

By the way it has got nothing to do with me, I just think it is a great colour
and a proper bargain
