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.

How come that alpina doesn't have the stripes?

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

I kinda like it. Not into the wing that does nothing on the trunk but it comes off ok.

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!
