It's great car we can all agree, and I'm sure we'd all love to own/drive it.

But its a bit of a frankenstein, in a good way. It's really not a tii any more

It's more of a tii than a tii.

 

Just my $0.02

Regretting not trying to make a deal with Jason years ago when it was kinda/sorta on the table (never got serious enough to talk turkey $$$).....after just peeling through the photo's on BAT, great car with provenance probably not repeatable in this day.

This has @CoastalCrush written all over it! Is your piggy bank big enough for this one?

How about we all stop talking about this car and mind our own business and definitely don't bid on it?

It's definitely is a fun philosophical debate of these cars - I agree that it isn't a tii any more - it's a modified Tii!

 

There probably is a parallel situation with a new 335i - if you put a chip in it, is it still a 335i?

 

This car is not for everyone though. I've been fortunate to live with both a stock (ish) tii and this car for 18+ years and so I which one was better just depended on my mood.really

 

Yes, @markmac. I really wanted you or @inkatouring to own this car next. ? But both of you already have gorgeous cars - and Alpinas too!

How come you're selling this one?

Space mostly - we have five cars and 3 need to go. Then I need to add one back in for my son who is now 16 and I hope to get something newer but something we can work on together. I also want to focus on my blue car (see tagline) - a car I have owned for 20 years and was my daily for 12+ of them. It's stripped for paint but I need time and space to prep it further.

 

All good. We've had it for 18 years and I'm ok with the concept that we are all stewards of these cars anyway.

This thing is wicked cool.  I have so many feelings, yet few words. 

 

Hope someone cool gets it.

tii?  tii with Alpina?  Regardless - a nice and extremely interesting car with lots of cool and discussable stuff.

 

If 2782045 is the number of the "replacement" block, the car into which it was originally installed might have the same birthday (June 26, 1974; +/- 1 day) as my '74 tii (2782059).

The 'Alpina modifications' are more than acceptable....like when Pamela Anderson was modified with awesome 'parts' and her value only went up

(making her more desirable)

Pamela Anderson?  Really?  More like when the smart girl, naturally born with big brains and great upbringing, hits the gym and gets super fit, too.

It’s a really cool car thats for sure! Though it’s more of an alpina car than a Hardy&beck car (it does have H&B headers) . It’s a Tii with ALOT of really rare Alpina stuff put on by Hardy&beck/ Alpinawest . I like all the aftermarket stuff Hardy&beck made and branded, wheels, headers, airdams, turbo kits, valve covers, etc. 

 

I’ll bet this car brings a pretty penny though. It’s gorgeous, has all the rare period bits and I’ll bet its fun as hell to drive.

Hardy and Beck did put all those Alpina parts on there, indeed. They also tuned that baby to run like it should with all those new parts, that was the really special part, imo.

Would be fun as hell to drive, I agree. Wish I could.
