That's #164, as for the price... it's worth what someone will pay for it
There are fewer and fewer with < 80k around and pricing is heavily dependent on condition, service history and provenance
NB it's unusual to see a RHD car with a full set of stripes, they seem more common on the LHD cars (I only have the front spoiler stripes on mine because I'm not particularly keen on the side stripes)

I really like the Alpina stripe kit on the sides. Looks classy IMO.
I was going to get them put on my E92 B3, but didn't keep it long enough!
Don't get me wrong, the side stripes look great on the saloons, coupes, 'verts and tourings - I just don't think they work on the RS, the contours of the car disrupt the lines and to make them fit the shallower bodywork they have to be applied in a way that takes them over the wheel arches.
I will admit the stripes look a little 'disjointed' on the E85, so make them look 'wonky'.
It does look a decent Alpina E85, though. And the money, for the mileage, is about the same as a decent E85 M. I would take the 'Alp' any day over it's 'chavvy' cousin.
I'd take an M every time over an Alpina with the chavvy stripes and wheels that must be a nightmare to clean. Not to mention the EPAS, run-flats and open diff that Ms don't have, and that's before you get to the wonderful S54 screamer.It does look a decent Alpina E85, though.
