Welcome aboard Cam, it's good to have you.
There seems to be an inordinate number of Alpina fans in Saskatechewan! |

Well, we have the most vehicles per capita in Canada, so I suppose it isn't that surprising haha.

Welcome Cam! The Mark II is excellent, I love that your fun car is a 4 door and you daily is a 2 door )
For E36s I think there are only 2 B3s and 2 B8s in Canada, plus a few (?) B6s and a few replicas. Yours looks pretty good as far as replicas go! The front lip, rear spoiler wheels and stripes all look correct. The wheels even have the right number of spokes - a lot of reps have 19 instead of 20. And they have the locks too, I wonder if they're actually legit Softlines? Either way have fun getting those centre caps on and off. That 3 spoke steering wheel and the Alpina "shift knob" also look correct and those are desirable pieces. Too bad it doesn't have the gauge surround. The M3 mirrors aren't correct for an Alpina but it is a common conversion. Anyway it looks like a tidy E36, have fun with it! P.S. ditch those crazy floor mats |

Thanks!
Ugh I know, I've been doing some reading and it seems like they are a real pain in the ass. I really really hope that the keys for the center caps are somewhere in/with the car, otherwise I won't be able to put my winter tires on... Yea I think it would be pretty difficult to get ahold of a legit Alpina gauge cluster/surround. I'm not too concerned, as you can tell by my other car, I'm not exactly a 'purist' strictly speaking. Haha I've already ordered some winter mats for it! The car should be home safe within a couple weeks, I can't wait. |

A bit belated, but welcome Cam!
I think we have another member on here that has a 325i with a number of Alpina parts as well. I can't remember if he's also in SK or if he's in MB. OMG, I'm in love with that Mark II. I'd love to get my hands on a JZX100 myself, but I can't bring myself to spend the money on what 5 spds are going for. Wow! 10 years importing. You must have got into it just when or just before it started getting big. Who do you source your vehicles from in Japan. |

Welcome!
It may be a replica, but its still nice! If those are legit Alpina wheels, they will be worth more then the whole car. |
