Ok, as a 6 owner and anally retentive twat I have to comment on the following.

LOSE the Alpina and M badges. Lavi has restored the car beatifully and done a sterling job, except for the badges. It cheapens the car.

'M' badge only if it's and M car and Aplina has NEVER replaced the BMW emblems, they're fake and ruin his effort. See here.

Apart from that criticism, It's great to see another old 6 brought back to life :)

Beautifully done. I love seeing an old BMW brought back to full glory.

I agree with Skank... although... as it appears to have the dogleg box... it may actually have had an M badge on the grill. South Africa did get a motorpsort version (cosmetically).

This is just my opinion but when I see cars with cosmetics of tuners and nothing underneath I get the mutton dressed up as lamb feeling. Seeing the Alpina stripes makes me hope that underneath is a real B9 or B7. Original engine is a let down.

But then I am a sleeper type person. I would rather have a wolf in lambs clothing than the other way around.
