In Canada you can order Alpina parts through any BMW dealer. In the USA you go through KSK, whom you discovered.

The best BMW parts guy in my area says he can only order parts for models originally offered here. i.e. Roadster and B7, but not my E36.
He also doesn't recognize the part # since it's not 11 digits. But that's how it's displayed in the E36 and E39 catalogs. I'll keep trying... |

Did you just give them the part numbers and you were good to go? Were they Alpina specific parts?
When I went to the local BMW dealer they just got really confused |

Just to close the loop on this, the best way to get genuine Alpina parts seems to be to post here You'll get lots of helpful replies that way. Thanks to everyone who helped.
In my case the part I was looking for is EUR800+ new, which is too much for me right now. According to one person who helped me (they can identify themselves if they wish... ) Alpina will require you to provide: -a VIN matching the part (i.e. from a 3.2 in this case), which I don't currently have -evidence that you originally had this part installed and it's now damaged If this is all true then I find it disappointing that Alpina would set out these requirements even for genuine owners who are looking to mix-and-match parts a little bit. Either way I'm not paying that price for the part so I decided not to push it. The second requirement explains the "quality" parts I see on eBay which look like they've been blown up with dynomite. |

This is all a bit of a long shot that the manifold will be reasonably priced, but I appreciate all the input thus far! |
