    Default Good thread about the Alpina E34 twin turbo

    over on bimmerforums.

    I honestly thought it would register more than 300rwhp on a dynojet though. My car pulled 210rwhp when dynoed.

    yeah they're working that back to engine hp (which is roughly what bmw quote), not what's at the wheels.

    Apperently the owner didn't embrace the eighties.
    I love those stripes! Pain in the ass to detail the car though...

    Factory stripes were optional in owner's choice of silver or gold. I have the gold ones on my car ("sterlingsilber") and recently have been thinking of going a little more subtle, less 80's and getting a set of the silver ones instead.

    Enjoy!
