I know I will probably get roasted for this, but personally, my money would be going to a 1M. The 15k (at least) saved could buy a set of KW coilovers, a re-map (if you need more power) and a whole lot of track days. I don't see 1M's depreciating much either.
yep you will lose money because you modded your car and everybody will say they want an original spec M1 then go and mod it anyway...B3 GT3 is factory spec and becomes acceptable....apparently. ..Edited by rtbm on Friday 15th July 13:45
This is about as close as you're going to get to a manufacturer's E92 CSL for a reasonable price. It's bad ass, yet not quite as stripped-out as BMW's own GTS, and a good chunk of cash cheaper to buy. For me it ticks more boxes too, yet almost matches the orange car's Ring time (for whatever that's worth)
I love some of the nods to Alpina's own history too, and they weren't all subtle, comfy rep-mobiles back in the day either you know?! I just wish it had a gold deko-set on it for the full Alpina effect
Only a CLK Black would make me think twice at this price-point, the similarities to which are many IMO

agreed....clk black pushing £100k used....B3 GT3 not cheap but bespoke and only "2" registered in uk!!!! ....looking at side view reminds me of E36..now classic's..got future classic all over it...price wise quite honestly how can any of us make sense of current sports car market... given it's purpose and build spec why would we not think it will have classic status one day...looks wise the cars we all hated are now the ones everybody bloody wants...lol I love some of the nods to Alpina's own history too, and they weren't all subtle, comfy rep-mobiles back in the day either you know?!

Can anyone tell me what is going on with the one central aircon vent? Seems it's been replaced with a screen of some sorts?
This little info unit was one of only 3 extra's available ..other being second set of wheels with "Mich cup's on for £5000...and £3500 for comfort pack (info form OBD2 one would guess.....) so the car was more likely to be £70k+ newEdited by rtbm on Friday 15th July 20:29

Nice car, a little garish in places perhaps but the price is massively optimistic to say the least
It MIGHT be worth more in future (tho it's a tiny market where cars take eons to sell) but it will cost WAY more to run upto that point thanks to the bespoke bits being stupid-expensive/hard to find as the car gets older.
Still - nice to know it exists ;0

I noticed it's in the LH vent, I presume it was initially made for LHD cars and this was one option piece that wasn't revised for RHD..
