I’d also like to give an honorable mention to one of the founding BC BMW Club members 1972 e3 Alpina Bavaria.

Congrats, Mike! Well deserved. Your E9 is even more beautiful in person.

That E3 Alpina is pretty special also.

Thanks Dick. Efforts have been recognized, always a gratifying experience. :) Much motivation from this site of course. Many owners here expend much energy and dollars to achieve what we all feel is a correct result for our E3, E9s. But I am always surprised at the special BMWs that come out of the garages and from under the car covers to attend this special event. Was fun! Oh, that E3 Alpina is owned by the BMWCCBC member #1. He could tell you stories!
 
Yes - Congrats from me as well.
Would be great to get a Seattle (and north!) group gathered again.

Never knew there were any E3 Alpinas. Love to know the story on that one.

I touched base on this question a while back when I brought this car up before.

From what I remember the owner telling me. The car was bought as a standard e3 then sent down from Canada to an accredited Alpina shop in California to be retrofitted. Inside and out.
 
Hardy & Beck and Dietel Enterprises were the two most common modifiers in CA selling Alpina parts which found their way onto a lot of BMWs. A true Alpina was modified in Buchloe by Alpina though.
