I fancy this E36 V8 Alpina - is it quick?

You could buy a Z3 Coupe :whistle: which is lightweight.
Mine is around 1300 kilos now...

but i am a man:blalalala:

I was looking at this before I bought the Z3.

It's a beauty but I don't regret spending the money for the Z3 :thumbs:

that looks sweet, and cheap, but NO V8:whistle:

[shimmy]

at £5k I'd love that but only for the v8. It wont be as good to drive as an e46 m3 for similar money imho.

day to day im not so sure

e36 has 347 and e46 has 262 torques, makes a big difference on the road:thumbs:

Looks like a decent motor, but for an everyday runner there are better out there.

I dont rate the old alpina's, drove many e46's, e39's and they did not have that one thing I was hoping they may have- character. They just felt like another 3/5 series with a slightly quicker motor.

I agree though the v8 manual would better suit everyday driving than the M3 would.

What about a very decent e39 530d m sport, I love the facelifted e39 M sports. Quite a pokey motor esp with remap, good mpg, torquey and spacious.

Or I'll just shut up and tell you that perhaps the e36 alpina would be a wise buy and hold or even appreciate in value, but if it doesnt 10k+ is a big price to pay for an e36.

Just thinking out loud.

i think id love it for up and down the motorway and a few short trips.

BUT far too much money for the mileage imho and a bit too thirsty perhaps as well.

i am over that way soon and may take a look. :smokin:

That was my thought Shim, good fun but for the mileage I'd say it's at least £4k overpriced. Interesting motor though. For the money I'd sooner go E39 M5 but I think you've beeen there already.

just fancied an e36 m3, but not a screamer (got one of those upstairs:bigcry so the V8 seemed to make sense

Talking of lightweight Alex, whatever happened to that dodgy Fiat thing that you bought last year? :whistle:
