“Alpina 4.6” Engine Cover Badge Quiery

Post by dannyphoto » Mon Jul 10, 2023 10:19 pm

Hey everyone, first post here and it’s to ask a favor:

I have an E38 740i that I’ve 6 speed swapped as well as put a M62TUb46 into. Now, I know this engine’s design was licensed from Alpina for use in the 4.6is, but it’s not a true “Alpina” engine.

With that said, I love the B10 V8’s “Alpina 4.6” plaque and I’d like to machine one for myself. It won’t say “Alpina” but it will say BMW 4.6, or something to that effect.

My concern is getting the proper dimensions. Would anyone be able to measure their badge for me? In a perfect world, I’d just be able to buy one from Alpina but that’s not possible afaik.

Thanks in advance! Please move if not in the right section. :)

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure if I've got the right end of the stick with what you're looking for... but this guy makes custom Alpina plates so may be able to help? Great guy to deal with also!

Nice E38 too 👍
