I've decided to upgrade from my M5. It's been a fun project and an absolute blast to own. It's just time for a change. The car I've decided to get to replace it is another e34. It's been modified by some little company named Alpina. They even put their own name on it. A silly name like B10 Biturbo(#362). It's going to be loaded onto a ship in Germany in two weeks. Then there's about a 3 month epa/dot certification process. It's going to be a long wait.....

Very nice! If for some reason you need the US bumper trim for the DOT swap, I have a full set I can give you. That is one sweet car. Can't wait to see it!

Thanks,
I know someone who's going to Germany next week. He's taking a speed-o, the US trim, a new cat, and some minor things to install before it gets shipped. That way I can keep the euro speed-o and trim when it's done.

That's good! He should snag the euro spec headlights for you too. In fact, I have a set of US spec headlights if you want to use them and then swap them out once the car gets here too. You could potentially keep the car cosmetically the same, huh?

Very impressive, not many go to the trouble to get them DOT approved.

You bastard - Its beautiful. Reminds me of a joke: What do you get when you cross a donkey with an onion? A piece of ass that'll bring a tear to your eye! Congrats!

the best lookin b10 ive seen, the side skirts match the body color and the front bumper.. doesnt look like an e34 with a goatee. good luck with the DOT. you may want to get a new piece of trim..

The B10 BiTurbos don't have side skirts. Standard factory trim there. Only the front bumper is different.

best, whit

I noticed the trim yesterday. I have someone checking into it. Thanks for the heads up though.
