What is an Alpina E3 / 2800 ?

I occasionally like to look at Euro vehicles on the Autoscout24 website. This car caught my attention:

BMW from € 19,990

I recognize the Alpina wheels, but I'm not familiar with the Alpina badges on the hood & trunk. It appears to be a Series II vehicle, based on the c-pillar. I was wondering if one of our forum members could comment? Does this car have special mods or tuning?

hard to tell without any pictures of the engine or documentation of a B2, B2-S or B3 engine, suspension, etc. right now i would have to guess its like a 528e or 535 with a 'M' badge on it ... all lipstick + rouge.

Agreed. It looks very nice, but based on the asking price it's likely an Alpina "tribute" car. Wheels appear to be standard 14" e12 with Alpina badges. Rear seat also looks to be e12 or e28, different color than the door cards.

Autscouto24.com can be very addictive

Anyone interested should ask to see the 4 digit Alpina engine tag / code and any Alpina documentation
