From what i can tell, this is not an original B6 2.8. According to the Alpina Archive info linked in the ad, the B6 2.8 was only available between Mar-92 & Jul-93 so as a 1996_N car, it's either a reshelled B6 or otherwise is just a 328i with some Alpina goodies.

That being said, as a low mileage E36 in the condition implied in the ad then it may still be worth good money, but probably more likely to sell through a specialist dealer than privately for anything like the asking price.

Other E36 options currently for sale:
- B3 3.0 Coupe #204: 1996_N, 79k, £13k
- B3 3.2 Coupe #017: 1997_P, 80k, £9k
- B3 3.2 Cabrio #077: 1999_T, 116k, £20k
- B3 3.2 Touring #020: 1997_P, 153k, £? (Shaziman's car which i believe is still for sale)
B3 3.2 TOURING #062

I came to the same conclusion...original bits no doubt, but a standard 328 car....does look great but not worth near that money despite the mileage..!

Does anyone know whether the Alpina options could be specified from new on a 96 328i car? The seller says all original paintwork so I wouldn't of thought its a re-shell? The car looks in very good condition but I believe the advert is misleading to say the least.

you could specify the car as a B2.8, thats all the parts of a genuine B6 2.8 but only mild works to the std engine (so cams, ecu and exhaust), basically along the lines of the previous B2.5 and B2.8 (e28) etc.

Thats what I took the ad to mean.

That would make the most sense if it was specced from new with the Alpina enhancements. Hopefully if the original bill of sale is present it would clarify.

As it stands, the seller could be much clearer in explaining what it really is.

Steering wheel isn't right stitching all wrong and Middle bit shouldn't be like that has an actual raised badge which it didn't have
At best it's wheels and body kit

Interesting. I wonder if any engine work was done? As mentioned above the original bill of sale would clarify things.

Maybe they placed a plastic one in place of the fabric original? BMW certainly didn't have the fabric type during this period.

The wheel itself looks original, very clean but original.
