Alpina D3 on ebay.

Post by JamieHill » Thu Dec 15, 2022 12:45 pm

BMW Alpina B/D3 estate £5500

BMW Alpina B3 estate says D3 on boot badges.

is this a replica Alpina

boot badges in wrong place.

Mot check says BMW 3 SERIES

Is it no.45 on a different plate.

Looks cheap 130k miles.

Alloys probably worth £1500.

Couple of warnings that this isn't real:-

Tamper dot is showing on the (Genuine ALPINA) clocks, so likely off a donor car
Rear bumper is an Msport unit, not an SE (ALPINA use SE body)
It's not a B3Biturbo: look at the rev red line. It's not a D3Biturbo: I believe the early UK cars all came on classics, too and I believe Jan 2009 are earliest registered in the UK: this is Nov 2008.
No interior shots except the dash: where's the plaque and some pics of the seats?
Not #45 in new guise: roof bars are wrong type for early Alpina's AND that was registered in June 09
It just doesn't 'sit' like an ALPINA either. Rear wheels should be filling those rear arches

Wheels aren't that valuable. Once you factor in sorting them out they're not worth £1500

Fake, and dodgy too with false odometer.

Yea i didn’t think it looked right.

I will report it to ebay, item doesn’t match description.

Don’t want some poor soul getting ripped off.

It's the round dot after the millage.

So when they swapped the cluster they didn't change the millage on it to suit the millage recorded on the rest of the car.

Very dodgy response from the seller too.

I've messaged him and reported this to ebay. Hopefully sufficient reports may lead ebay to pull this before someone gullible buys it as stated.

He only needs to list it as a replica D3Biturbo and some explanation for the mileage.

I can’t see it now. Would not be surprised if it was relisted after a while again.

If it does go back then hopefully someone spots it and I would report it too, it’s worse than all the replica Alpina and AC Schnitzer alloys that get listed as genuine, I get fed up of reporting them as it appears nothing is done.

i also messaged the guy as when I noticed the Advert is was listed as BMW M3, but then stated B3 in the description. So I asked him if he could confirm is it an M3, a B3 or a D3 - Just got a one liner response saying "Its a B3 genuine". As you guys did I reported and see its now taken down.
