Bro Mizhan, your restoration project should be compiled in "Hari ini dalam sejarah" lar.. because it could be a guide to other e30 enthusiast..

Well, at least you're very thorough and meticulous in ensuring every little nook and cranny of your car is top-notch.

After all, you did say before that there's no substitute for time and patience, and of course, all those RM spent on restoring your E30 to its current state.

Mizhan, seriously, get BMWCar Mag to do a feature on your Alpina replica! :4:

Or at least a full page feature on CBT! Wakakaka.

eggie, i doubt anyone would want to feature this car. it's just a standard 323i.. nothing special like an original Alpina or even a 325is or cabriolet. i selected this particular model due to it's association with my childhood. however it turns out in months to come and whatever attention it gets, i am already more than satisfied. even till this point, it has been one heck of a rollercoaster ride!

Haha, you're too modest Mizhan. But you're right. Whatever attention it receives once it comes, it all doesn't matter as long as you yourself are happy with what the car has become.

Btw, replica or not, I would daresay I've yet to come across an Alpina-kitted E30 so far in Malaysia! :top:

323i also special lah bro...not many 323i as its short period 3-4 years of production...hard to find nowadays... i'm proud to own a 323i

Yeah the E30 was the bimmer that started it all, my fascination for the marque....That and the Testarossa. And this was wayyy back when I was in standard 4! Still remember the kidney grill and twin headlights in a readers digest article... That was something... Nice to know I'm able to drive one today...talk abt childhood fascination eh bro Mizhan ?
