Item 1: quirky folk bait: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I’ve seen one alleged Alpina in person, it was maybe a 7-series. But this is pretty cool. Love the wheels.

Item 2: E90M3 & Archduke ( & also HFV ) bait — this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Interior needs some polishing, but I know people love these and I suspect they’ll just keep getting more and more expensive used.

Item 3: “I like M cars but don’t like the idea of owning one” folk bait - !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Blue with two-tone interior hnnnnng. Am I wrong for liking the 2-series?

And speaking of 2..

Item 4: Well, there you go... no bait... !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

There are countless BMWs on the road in my corner of the country. But I only just know learned that they made a 2-series convertible. And apparently, at least one person bought one! But hey, it’s a modern manual convertible. More than you can say for Mercedes or Lexus...

Item 5: “thatguythathadanE36M3solditthengotaGTIlaterandneverpostshereanymore” bait — !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Is there any E36 left on the road that don’t have dubious mods? Looks like the wheels will rub if you load a few grocery bags. But hey, no (maybe) rust!

Item 6: “I shouldn’t like these but I almost do” — !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Oooooh check out that first-gen R8!

Cargo capacity: 10.1 cubic feet. [heavy breathing.png]

Item 7: “But I don’t have ‘fuck you’ monies” — !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The colors, children! THE COLORS!

And finally...

Item 8: Everybody-bait... !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Will these ever be affordable again? Hummmm no. You could save a penny and get !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which I suspect will never increase in value like anything compared to the coupe...

You said there was something for everyone, but none of these are wagons

I can’t precisely explain why, but I hate everything Alpina has ever done to any BMW. Putting a slushbox into a Z8 instead of a manual? Heresy.

That 128i is perfect. I think it's time for me to finally make it out to Seattle...

Really like that 1-series. The four door E36 M3 was pretty much my favorite car in high school, and I have a soft spot for an E36 325is. Pretty sure that has something to do with my current cars.

I would probably enjoy an E36 M3 if I hadn’t driven the Euro engine. The drift school I work for has 2 BMW 318tis. One has a US E36 M3 drivetrain, the other has a Euro drivetrain. The difference is unbelievable . The european engine revs so much better, makes way more torque, and is smoother than the US engine. Driving it ruined the US engine forever for me.

Yeah that one is pretty bad, but an Alpina E34 Biturbo is a god tier car. Also a B6 Grand Coupe is stunning, if you ever see one in person you’ll agree. They’ve made some pretty amazing cars

If that Alpina E36 wasn’t in such nice shape it would have to be the M6 Coupe, but that Alpina is like a dream daily driver for me.

I already have a clownshoe so I don’t need another lol. Although it would be nice to make it a full blown track car

I delight in these gauges with the blue background, I think Volvo has several of those which perhaps means I associate it with quality European cars.

Oh man, that e36 m3 ad. Odometer broke, but guesses over 200k? Replaced shifter bushing but it “still feels shitty”? Wiring harness fucked so it won’t start? Could be rigged to fire but he wouldn’t recommend it? Wants over $ 5k? Amazing.
