Alpina numbering system?

Can someone enlighten me as to how the numbering system Alpina use.
Mine is number 100 which I thought would be spread across the B6s coupe and cabriolet models but looking at the register (as you do) I see numbers of 170+. So do they number according to the cars with a certain engine? So for my car it would include the B5s, B6s coupe and cabriolet?[/code]

FAQ number 7 might help.

That answer doesnâ€™t work with the numbers I have though. There were 40 B6s cabriolets made but mine is number 100???

It seems to vary as to whether they start again with an 'S' model or continue from the last non-'S' model. In the case of E60 B5/B5S and B6/B6S models they continued the numbering through both models so the B6S convertible started at #081.

My E39 B10 3.2(saloon) is number 64 so you can imagine my shock when I saw several years back an E39 B10 3.2(touring) with the same number. I contacted Alpina and they said both where fine.
