@BMW45 - while you are correct that Alpina never marketed a 'modified E3', they have acknowledged that they have modified some 3.0 csi and e3 cars post purchase - cars that were sent back to them for modifications of B2-s or B3 ... some as late as 10 years after initial purchase. those were largely fully modified cars - suspension, engine, seats, etc. we know that the B2 engine was largely sold thru Alpina dealers as a kit of parts - but some were installed by Alpina. as you have mentioned the e12 and e24 had different Alpina solutions, early cars had the b2 engine and i believe there were some b2-s / b3 engines in these cars, the e28 based 6 series as well as the e28 had the b7 turbo and a few other pkgs.
Alpina did produce some 3.0 csi / CSL road cars - as early as the carb CSL. the golf car on the right is an Alpina car ... sorry Pete, couldn't find the full pic of the car and its not a good pic of you ... but you did prove that unlike most of us, you can walk + talk at the same time.
