Alpina is actually considered a Manufacturer.
An Alpina is titled as an Alpina, not a BMW. That is why you don't see real Alpinas here in the US.
Because the VIN is not BMW, importation does not follow the simpler rules that bringing in a Euro BMW does.

Oh nice, kind of like RUF in Porsche?
What all does Alpina do to the car to be classified as a Manufacturer?
