@2275xxx & @Queralt-Lortzing - Thanks for sharing! It's my opinion (worth 3.5 cents) that more information about these rare cars needs to be shared if they're ever to be re-discovered and brought out in the open.
Thats the B3 engine. Alpina confirmed it by engine and head number. I m at the process to get on the street in Germany. I hope authorities don't fuck with me because it was the export Model and not for the german market.
I think Duane Sword’s Alpina E9 has a B3S engine. I recall it needed some special non-USA parts when being refreshed at VSR1 many years ago. Duane is a member of the forum but I rarely see him post. Best way to reach him might be thru Stan or Andrew??
I agree with @tferrer that we have to dive deeper on those cars.
Amazing @IMSA-CSL! Alpina certified your engine also as a B3 specs? That should be a great new. About the German authorities, not being an expert in the German regulation, but I think you would not have any trouble registering it as an H-Zulassung, don't think so?
And about the comment from @bfeng, as far as I know, there were no Alpina B3S, as the B3 were the top one in carbureted street cars. Is it perhaps a B2S engine?
Yes ALPINA confirmed it is an original ALPINA B3 engine. Car went directly after construction at BMW to ALPINA than into the export. Than first registration.
@bfeng: The car is at my BMW dealer for exchange of all fluids. When I have time in the near future I can take a look...
