is this a real alpina? Or just a badge swap?

Im pretty sure they are. And the addition of that clear fender marker would lead me to believe its an alpina. But i wouldnt think an il would be alpina...

Surely, the badge on the back of a car wouldn't lie?

not real. Awww, i miss my e34, did a conversion on that sweet ride. Door scuff plates, steering wheel, multi spoke classic Alpina wheels, roundels, badges, boot spoiler, and front Alpina bumper. All that was missing was that B10 Biturbo engine.

I have never had a badge lie to me

I have also seen a lot of turbo corolla SE's lately on the roads to, who knew TRD put out a turbo corolla!

Those wheels are worth the car alone, buy it part it out, you could make money on it for sure

yea no kidding, but id give em to my dad to put on his 740i if it bought it. The trouble is, this thing would require a trailer. And im limited to driving these cars back home at the moment, so they need to run.

All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up

Up in the curb, we just broke down
I'm doing the trouble shooting thing
Car decided to drip and won't finish the trip
Cause another part failed on me
Paid up on it, but broke down on me
Won't give this leak any attention
Cause I cried my tears, for three good years
Now an Alp's gonna be for me

But if you want it make sure to check the VIN on it.
If you want it make sure to check the VIN on it.
Don't be mad if it comes up fraudulent.
If you want it make sure to check the VIN on it.

Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh

I've practiced my script, my hands on my hips
Terms tighter than my skinny-cut jeans
Give it up, don't tell me but
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
It's car buying tradition
Cause you had your turn
And now you gonna learn
What it's like to be fact checked by me

But if you want it make sure to check the VIN on it.
If you want it make sure to check the VIN on it.
Don't be mad if it comes up fraudulent.
If you want it make sure to check the VIN on it.

Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh

Want to treat me to great things in this world
Am I that kind of girl?
Luxury is what I prefer, what I deserve
Just reassure me and authenticate for me
And delivers me to a destiny, to Bavaria and beyond
Pull me in, Alpina
Say I'm the one you want
If you don't, you'll be alone
And like a ghost I'll be gone

All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up

Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh

Fake. And I'd rather spend triple that to get something that was a bit less abused.

The rear suspension looks a little...tired. Quite the looker though, that's for sure.

Those look like e39 style 32s. Alpina 20 spokes have, well, 20 spokes, and recessed centers (usually covered with center caps).
