Wow - 1 in a million - er, 324... Good luck! Looks very rare indeed, let's hope it's as cheap as the regular v12's get!

Uups, small mistake, only 305 were ever produced
http://www.m5board.com/alpina/e32.html

I will give it a try. If I am successful, I have to get rid of at least 1-2 other 750 on my "salvage yard".
But the 2 E32 750iL Highline I will keep, as they were also produced in limited numbers of less than 5.000.
I believe, if one wants to keep a car as future oldtimer, only limited versions in original design (not tuned/spoilered etc) are worth as collectors item.

In case if you win, take a family pic of all of your BMWs and post it here :)

Good luck on the bid. Alpina is so rare, getting just one would be such an honour to the brand. That E32 looks pretty darn good.

When does the auction end? How long do we have to wait to find out if you are lucky?

You strategy makes sense in terms of value going for limited production and original condition . That strategy would take the fun out of it for me. I love having a daily driver I can play with. After having a couple of cars that were garage princesses, I am enjoying a more active relationship with this car.
