Even if it is only Alpina parts though, you still have some very rare, very beautiful, very expensive parts. Please post pics! If it was my SAV I would definitely do more digging into its past.
Thnx i did do some serious digging about the past of the car, it has a clean carfax, and so on, as i sayd before i did see some noticable mods on it and can't wait to see it, it might take a while for it to arrive because i'am exporting it outside the states to my country.
all i will do tint the windows thats all it needs.

lol, photoshop. The only alpina e53 i have seen around where i live is a normal X5 with all the alpina goodies. I dont think i have ever heard of any X5 alpinas that have engine mods, other than the IS models that are 4.4l modded out by alpina factory.

Oh, it looks like I misread the Car & Driver review. That was not an Alpina 4.6is --- they were just comparing it to the mods that Alpina made...

According to that post, all they did (Apina-related) was add Alpina wheels. All the other mods were not Alpina.

jigaro, please post some pics if you can. I think we would all appreciate seeing the Alpina mods that we made to your 4.8is.
