Is Alpina ignoring the 1?
the reason I asked that is, imagine Alpina inroduces an ECU that pumps 70hp+ and will not void the warranty (coz they are approved by BMW),,, now wouldn't that be cool?:thumbup:
tried to find anything related to this issue, nothing found. Anyone?

Alpina will take their time, either way. The B3 didn't exactly spring forth quickly, nor will a B1.

It’s David Lee Roth's Birthday today. He grew up near where I grew up in CA and I used to see him playing in amateur bands at parties. That was a long time ago.

Do Alpina sell "bits" like that? I thought they were technically a manufacturer, and sold entire cars?

The dealers here can order you Alpina wheels, body kits and some other style goodies. But not sure how extreme can ur orders be!
You can also visit their parts catalouge to check what's availabe. http://www.alpina-automobiles.com/en...catalogue.html I think the Alpina look is very classy and unique, I'm just waiting for what the B1 is gonna look like :P

Remember, Alpina does not just supply an ECU remap to their cars, the B3 also has highly upgraded MAHLE high strength pistons.
I would love to see an Alpina B1, but with the trend in Europe being to produce diesels and the 135i not selling in high numbers I really doubt it will happen. Would make an amazing car though. I plan to get a B3 as my next car, but would easily opt for the B1 if it did ever get launched! Can't see why anyone would buy an M3 over the B3??
