Maybe $8-12K to the right buyer...that is if you can find someone with a real A4S Alpina that needs an engine & it's in perrrrrrfect condition.

I'd rather have the early Alpina B7 turbo engine sitting next to it.... being I have a home for that one! Looks like it has a card on top telling it's history....something like this I'm sure. First road going Alpina engine to be turbocharged..... 3.0 liter making 300 hp & 345 ft/lbs torque w/12psi boost.

Where are these? In a museum?

Somewhere I read the A4S is only 168 HP. Good tuners do that in their sleep. You'd be paying a lot for the Alpina name just to get walked all over on the track.

Obviously the injection stuff has value, but what about the rest of the motor? Brand new or rebuilt? Or is it even rebuilt. Maybe it could be shiny Alpna stuff on a worn out engine. Is there any paper work that comes with it.

Anyway, at least the injection stuff is interesting by itself. Keep us posted.

this year about Alpina A4 stuff, parts, compete units, engines, etc., and they(someone there) emailed back that they were out of the Alpina biz altogether: no Alpina anymore. ya sure... they obviously are in the biz if they are building A4S engines. If that is the real deal with the correct rods, pistons valves, and headwork, along with the other tweaks that Alpina did to the Alpina built A4 engines( and that they surely can do too), it is worth a bunch of money. Probably similar to how that Swiss guy got an A4S engine in his Inka Touring that was featured in a foreign BMW mag last month. He said Alpina did the work- and i dont doubt it: you just need to be on site, with tons of cash to make it happen. I have always believed those parts were still around in europe. Heidegger used to be exclusive Alpina dealer for a couple countries, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and somewhre else. They also built their own wild M10 stuff. A 1975 Heidegger 2002 won its class at Le Mans that year: only time a 2002 ever entered. It "outlasted" all the more powerful cars that it competed against. Actually, it did really well over all in that race. I was told Heidegger's daughter now runs the business- she obviously has some talented mechanics at the shop. Those engines look great! No idea how muchthey will cost - why not email them and ask? Probably get response" we do not have Alpina parts or engines"( for you silly Americans), lol.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
