e30 is gone and the Alpina has officially arrived. Lovin every second of it. The ONLY things I miss about the e30 are the Euro lights/HID's and the AC.
e30 wearing the new plates and shaking the hand of the new owner....

Brent great... I love it.
Its going to be a fun driving that one,
and even though you e30 was great an Alpina 323i is terrific.

We need to hang out sometime.
Let me know when you are in the boston area,
and your 323i can meet my 323i.

My condo is finished and I am selling it.
As soon as it sells I am going to be finishing the 323i
with the new engine and all.
We should have a photoshoot or something with Chris's
car and all the e21s from new england.

Johny in Vermont has Black e21 320i going after 10 years in his basement and
would like to get together with us sometime as well.

Props for a great car, and its very nice to see you back here,
from the wacky e30 board with Jordan on it.

later,
Joe

Mega-Congrats Man, that is one clean ass car. If you ever come through Colorado, I NEED a ride in it!

Wow, you sold the E30 thats great! The guy looks pretty jazzed with his new ride also. That sale is worth it for your new E21 though...

BTW, what's up with your 2002? Werent you painting the block for a rebuild or something?

Thanks guys. Its good to be back, especially after dealing with the thread in the e30 section.
The 2002 is just about done. It fired up for the fist time on Sat. Should be back in my grips by Wed.:redspot

Great car, didn't get to say it in the other thread. E21s are what got me into bimmers in the first place. I was probably 13 at the time and thought it was the coolest car when I got a ride in one. Any interior shots?

Sorry, no rear strip, I thought it was both the front and rear that had been screwed.

Nice!!! I should have an answer for you tomorrow on the stripes. Im hoping he has it because he is getting ready to send me a package and he can throw it in with my stuff.

Can you get the one for the spoiler, and or the one for the insert between the tails?

I will be getting a full decko kit soon from Europe. Worse comes to worse, I can have a local vinyl cutter make an exact copy of whatever you guys want.
Brent I just thought of that, if he doesnt have another set Ill just have my vinyl guy make you another set from the one I have coming. I did the same thing with the 2002 turbo reverse script for the front spoiler.

This is a great Idea. I would like to put the Alpina colors on my spoiler and the rear insert, but not the sides.

The bav auto show and shine is one of the largest shows around, bimmerfest is in cali and across the whole country.

That is an M30, and an entirely different conversion that a 2.8 M20 .

As to how fast, as him about the ticket that he got in Maine in the other Alpina.

You do realize you quoted him but answered nothing of the sorts to his question. Even if you did answer the question it was not directed towards you. Stay on track :shifty

I realize I might be divulging how much of a nerd I might be... but I had to make this for instances like this... where Joe gets side tracked.

I would like to appologize for VTbimmer for taking this little detour during his alpina purchase thread. I don't want it to end up like the thread he started in the E30 section. I just thought this was hillarious. You all might not.
