Busted! BMWCC "M" Fest

Finally, got a Bust! Nice tribute though.
Lot of genuine Alpina bits added to the base car. An 840 I think the owner said, a bare metal respray followed by 6 years to build it.

That looks amazing to be fair - I bet getting it to that standard didn't come cheap.

Seen this before, to be fair to the E31 group Lady, who is Debz Blythe she said " we know its replica but they owner has spent a fortune. Personally I have no issue unless someone tries to pass off as genuine or sell as genuine, which is not the case here.

Is this the one that got crashed leaving a meet recently Norrie?

I dont know anything about it getting crashed, I hope not. But I will check with Debz Blythe who runs the E31 group.

OK the replica ALPINA suffered minor damage to a front light it is alleged when anotherE31 driver reversed into it at the Rownhams service station last September. This minor damage has since been rectified. Therefore according to my sources its in good condition and exhibiting with other E31 owners. In fact I did see one with them at a recent meet, I dont recall the registration number.
