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?
