Greatly enjoyed meeting the owner of this car and his son. Their E9 is currently in Scottsdale and they brought it to a local cars'n'coffee hosted by Four Till Four coffee shop.

The barstools are part of BicycleHaus. That's the owner's '73 RS behind the visiting Alpina. On the lift above it is a green E39 M5 and an E24.
It looks like a great place for a car meet.
He clearly has nice taste in cars , as does his visiting friends.
Are the M5 and the E24 his also ?

Looks like it had an Alpina placard on the inside. Are we sure this isn’t a legitamate Alpina job, or was the tribute taken one step too far?

Very Clever. “Four Til Four“ AKA 3:56 as in Porsche 356.

Looks like a cool place to hang out.
Yes, my daughter works there when she's home from college. She likes to wear my old BMW paraphernalia when working because customers oooh and ahhh over her "vintage" motorsport clothes.

I thought blue/green Alpina stripes were e12 and e21 era and later.

As Alpina were the placards. E9’s didn’t get those during their production run. This would have been a post production Alpina conversion. That explains all of the 1796+ interior and cosmetic bits. Seats, fabric, steering wheel, stripes, spoiler.

The car was sold by Oldenzaal in 2020. They have no description of history on it.
