Quick check before ordering.

Post by markalp » Mon Aug 14, 2017 11:05 pm

Sorry if this is a basic question, but having just purchased my Alpina I want to check this is the correct DISA rebuild kit before I place the order.

Am I correct if thinking the Alpina Roadster is based off the E85 3.0i?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, as far as I know the alpina is based on a previous generation engine to the e85 cars :?

I do believe you are correct.. Seems its based of the E85 shell with Alpinas own modified M52 engine.

Glad i double checked.

I guess I should really stop being lazy and actually read up on the car lol
