M3 engine

The only thing I can think of that relates to the M3 is that the block of the B3S engine used in the Alpina is a modified version of the block used in the US-spec E36 M3 bored out to 3.4l

Yep - I've heard it referred to an M3 engine before - the Alpina E5/2 engine in the Roadster S is based on the iron-block S52B32 that was used in the North American E36 M3 and is closely related to the USA-spec M52 engine.

Apologies...maybe I am mistaken about the M3 engine...the engine in my Z4 sounds similar to the M3 engines of the era...a deep bassy sound...that is why I assumed it was an M3 engine...took it out on Saturday for a short ride and it was a really enjoyable ride. I keep thinking I would never get one as good so why sell it?
Thing is, it shares the garage with a DB9 V and that always wins when it comes to engine sound....hence why I was thinking of selling as no point having two similar cars..but the Alpina is rare...decisions decisions...

Well, my #019 was June 2004, so it will be an early one. - I've asked the seller !

How many of the 167 are now on your radar, Perry ?

Yours was built in Oct 2003 but UK registered 06/2004, the car on eBay was registered in April 2004 which, along with the interior/exterior colour helps narrow down the field to 022, 023 & 039, whereas 029 is only down as one of the possible build numbers because I don't have any details for it at all other than it being contemporaneous

We're missing details of 12 of the RHD cars now, thanks to Robert spotting #034 - doubt if we'll ever get them all as some are bound to have been written off
