Alpina B9 #166

Post by Karl Grau »

A very lazy search didn't turn up anything. Does anyone know this car?

These 'enhanced' pics really annoy me.

Careful that car has the full neon treatment, but it is on the inside making the paint glow.

ABS, LSD, Central Lock, electric passenger mirror, green glass, p-s/r, pw x 4, model number delete, special paint (alpina color, I expect), from a 528i.

The rear seats seem a little tired.

The handring is so smooth and tight.

Wrong steering wheel because E28 B9 so rare no chance to get a good one no more. Of course, they are literally everywhere.

The only thing I see wrong with this car is the upholstery... why is it so loose? -and of course, the pictures which were probably taken outside the Fukushima nuclear reactor or something.

That and and traveling to Japan just to verify the tight handring is kind of a hassle... but the car looks fairly well preserved.

Now that I think of it, I seem to recall an ad for a B9, located in Japan, with photos taken in an overgrown empty lot in which the car seemed to have been left abandoned. It had photos taken with the same "Chernobyl filter".

Actually, it's THIS ONE --> http://bringatrailer.com/2014/11/13/al- ... 9-project/

but the VINs are different.
