The variety in the interiors on these cars is really interesting. The door cards and steering wheel and seats and center consoles really varied car to car and year to year. Somewhere in the high 2xx build #s for the 3.0s they built a bunch of cars like this one above that had generic wood trim above the glove box instead of the numbered plaque, and some serious questionable interior fabric choices. They must have run out of Alpina cloth for a while.

I'm also surprised at how few of these cars have the Alpina gauge cluster with the extra gauges. I thought that was part of the Alpina special sauce but based on recent auctions less cars had it than I expected.

I'm quite happy with how mine was speced but I'd love to have the earlier Recaro seats instead.
