Wanted: Alpina E46 B3 3.3 Saloon Facelift Engine Number Badge/Plate
Hi , I’ve recently purchased an E46 B3 Saloon 2002 , and have noticed that on the engine cover the badge/plate which says “3.3” is missing , after having searched eBay for it I have had zero luck , would anyone happen to have one for sale or know where I can get them ? Or failing that what the part is called , so I can maybe have some better chances searching. I have included pictures of a vehicle with it on and one with it missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Frequent occurrence and if you are unlucky enough not to catch the loose part, then the only option is to buy a whole new cover unfortunately - unless you can find one from a car that is being broken for parts (either B3 or B10 3.3 would do)
About £100 when I had to do it a few years ago ...

Hum - I could 3D print a small batch of these and even improve how the 'clip' in place to avoid future losses.
Just an idea?

Rav, if you can, yes please. Mine has also gone walkabout. Let me know a price please.

I also thought of 3D printing when reading that these were not available anymore as I almost lost mine. Good little project for someone.

If you could I’m sure a few of us on here would love to purchase these from you.
This may be the only way to get ahold of these things then. I thought I was being stupid when I scoured the interweb and nothing was coming back. I’ll keep looking in case someone is breaking a car with one.
I think for £100 I could live without it. But I’d definitely pay for a 3D printed one if it’s anything less than that

The price will be dependant on quantity - I can see two in need of this part on this thread - which economically is not viable. Any one else interested?

It might be worth starting a separate thread Rav highlighting what is a solution to a common problem?

You could probably find more interested parties mentioning it in some of the FB groups too. Any idea what kind of numbers you'd need to make it viable?

I thought that at first but I quickly hated the feelings I got whenever I opened the bonnet and saw a gaping hole!
Didn't take me long to find my credit card but, if Rav can work some miracles with a 3D printer, then that seems an eminently sensible alternative

Hi, i dont know if it is still actual, but i would be very interested too for this 3d printed logo, or just the file to give to a printer there. Thank you very much.
Re: Wanted: Alpina E46 B3 3.3 Saloon Facelift Engine Number Badge/Plate
I’d like one too if they come available for my B10 Touring
Mine was in two halves when I got the car but it won’t stay in obviously so it’s in glovebox
