Alpina and Hartge E36 Sedans

[d.b]

There are a couple interesting E36 sedans listed today. Neither seem to be in immaculate shape but there hasn't been much listed lately to talk about so I figured why not post them.

1995 Alpina B3 3.0 "Limited Edition"






From the little bit of digging around I did, I think the "Limited Edition" part indicates this is a 30th Anniversary Edition model which were produced in very limited numbers. There doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about them however besides the tag on the trunk and the interior.

1993 Hartge H265SP






This Hartge has seen better days. Looks like the shifter knob is missing. It has quite the detailed auction sheet though -- anyone know what it's talking about?

One other question someone may have the answer to in regard to these auction sheets -- when they have the "XX" mark on the hood, fenders, etc. does this indicate an accident that's been repaired? If so, does that mean the front end of the Alpina above had it's front end knocked off? Is there any way to determine the cause of the repairs on these auction cars?
