I have a video where the BMW M3, Alpina 3.3, and the Hartge 5.5 are all compared and tested. I'll try to post it up in the multimedia section, might interest you guys.

post it up!!!!!!!
I'm falling in love with ALPINA....
M3s are soooooo 90s. ALPINA is the future!

"m3s are so the 90s"

....wtf are you talking about delmarco....

**voca** · 09-11-2005, 01:07 PM

delmarco.. you're going to have a really hard time trying to find and afford those alpina parts. =)

some of you vets from werkz might remember fatty's 95 328i aplina b3 replica.

I was originally going to do something like this but then thought it'd be pretty misrepresenting in america cause they never made a US spec alpina e36.

I thought that might interest you delmarco, but I don't know if you remember him. he has since sold his car for an 01 MG ZT. I don't know what he drives now I haven't talked to him in forever.

Del, my new bumper gets here on the 13th

lol

**delmarco** · 09-11-2005, 02:10 PM

I miss fatty....his car was actually my intial inspiration for wanting to do better for my car when I first joined BF back in the days...
I thought fatty lived in Europe though....I guess his alpina fooled me.
mmmm.

I probably won't do it though..I can't afford anything else until I get a job again.

**voca** · 09-11-2005, 02:15 PM

he lives in Birmingham, England. yes, Europe. notice his car was a 1995 328i. 328i's weren't introduced in america until 1996. =)

**komodo** · 09-11-2005, 02:18 PM

I personally don't like alpina very much. They're styling seems "old person" looking, imo.

I would never buy anything Alpina for my car. =/

**brien4787** · 09-11-2005, 02:21 PM

i agree with komodo in a way of not liking alpina tooo much.. some of their stuff is cool, but a lot of it is too... extreme? i dont know

**voca** · 09-11-2005, 02:23 PM

yeah alpina doesn't design there cars as race cars. they try to make it as fast and as comfortable as possible so it's kind of just like buying a big 7-series except a little more sporty.

although, here is one alpina that I think might change your mind a little komodo:

**brien4787** · 09-11-2005, 02:37 PM

even that isnt doing it for me.. the front doesnt look right... its too... i dont know the word

looks almost tacky..
