B3 3.3 Number 032 in any magazines?

Post by Rav » Tue Jun 12, 2018 10:40 am

Having bought Alpina B3 3.3 number 032. I have been told that this was the first B3 in the country and also the UK press car. This has been confirmed by Sytner and i can believe it as the options boxes are all ticked.

Does anyone know of any magazines my car may have featured in?

Many thanks.

Been through a few bits I have I would suggest the times motoring may have an archive they featured the e36 b3 n e39 b10 1999 2000 so they could have done a piece

Gary and the team at Alpina sent me a edition of Autocar magazine. I think the car featured is mine....!!
