How to find original purchase price of one's car?

[sam303]

I'd love to know what my car cost its first owner. It has a full history but would the supplying dealer tell me what it cost? If not is there any other way of finding out?

It's a 2003 Alpina B3S and the first owner specified literally every option apart from elec adjustable seats and bluetooth. So even if I knew the original OTR price I reckon the options must have cost a small fortune. I'm just keen to know how much of a bargain I'm driving around in

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Funnily enough the elec adjustable seats would be on my list of don't-haves - I've always thought of the extra weight of the 3 or 4? motors used in the seat and the potential for them to break down.

Previous owner wasn't the first - it's had a few.

It's number 63. Or 00063 to be precise.

By the way bigandclever, how do you know there are only 8 of these cars? I'm aware of the Alpina register but not all cars are on there, only those where the owner has been on to the site and registered it.

Cheers...

Thanks va1o - but it's not the BiTurbo that you posted the link to. Nor is it the 3.3 which is the other model Parker's lists - it's the 3.4. I wouldn't be confident of getting the exact right options in any case, plus you never know if the dealer gave a discount when it was bought. So you couldn't be sure you had arrived at the right cost even by taking the list price plus the options.
