    E34 Alpina B10

    Here's a long shot, but I'll give this a shot anyway. I was at the Festorics at Laguna Seca last August, and I was parked next to an Alpina B10. I'm hoping to find the owner of the car, because, well, frankly, it was just dead sexy, and I plan to build a model of it, and I wanted to ask them some detail questions about it. So, if you were there, I'd like to hear from you. Send me a PM, or shoot me an email. I'll try to post a pic of it

    Try a search on the Alpina Archive. It gives the location and usually pictures of the vehicles by model and you may recognize it. There are various E34 B10 models by the way!

    Well, it has the Dinan Stg1 W/SLS eliminated, the Dinan chip, and exhaust cam sprocket, and the Dinan Short throw shifter, most of which, the P.O did, and then I went to my nearest Dinan approved dealership(Austin, TX), and had them install the exhaust cam sprocket. It also has what I believe is the Euro 3.8 exhaust installed. I say I guess, because everyone I've asked about it says they've never seen an M5 with Machined, polished exhaust tips.I f you'd like to see it some more, you can find it on Car Domain, under the year(it's a '93), make, and Model

    That was me. Your car was pretty sexy too.

    It's nice to see that we have similar interests, lol. The question that I had was mostly on some of the details of it, such as interior color, and whether it was with silver stripes, or gold? I don't remember.

    Thanks, that's going to be a bit tricky, but, I think I can reproduce that. I'll keep you posted on the progress!
