HipMF Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Electric Alfa looks like a pretty shady conversion. The AC compressor/power steering pump tied off to the side with bailing wire and the motor controller zip-screwed to the firewall at an angle really shows the builder's attention-to-detail. Worst of all the batteries don't even appear to be tied down. People have been building electric cars with lead-acid batteries and big clunky DC motors for at least 40 years now and it just doesn't pan out. That 15 cent charge i probably closer to two dollars and the range probably isn't enough for an average persons day of driving. Plus it's wrong wheel drive.

Haha yeah it looks like the conversion was just thrown in there, I was just laughing because I didn't expect it when I clicked on the ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 My dad had one similar to this when I was little. His was a black '77 the first year you could get any 320i in the U.S.http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/tuner-tuesday-1982-bmw-320i-alpina/ The BF e21 guys are ripping this owner apart since it apparently doesn't seem to be a real Alpina. Looks clean tho. http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2167188-hey-wally!-your-alpina-ship-has-arrived-on-ebay!-please-note-not-mine-enjoy YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 UNICORN ALERT: http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/4942501283.html been watching that one. wish it was a 6 cyl. i'm sure some of you may have noticed this one: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/4953767095.html 94 e34 touring, super low miles, in great shape. however, i found the car on some other sites and it appears it was in a bit of a front end accident, which of course the craigs ad doesnt mention. it was originally listed for $9500 (lol) sometime last fall and has slowly come down in price. would be worth every bit of 5k if it is as nice as it looks. i considered selling mine and getting this one, but I still can't get over the standard 'beige' e34 interiors, they are so blah.

tsweers89 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Its a 530 anyways....no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 nah, the 530 is underrated. its really a pretty strong motor, and getting a 530 touring means you are only a simple engine swap away from 300hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faja92 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Oh my I want that so bad. I just wish I could drive it on the road! For some crazy reason insurance at bare minimum for that car is more than e46 m3 for me. It was 300+ a month full coverage on e36 m3 almost spit my coffee out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yup... When I had my m3 at age 19, full coverage was $2000 a year for me... Pretty good considering, but it really sucked me dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Interesting project for $1khttp://madison.craigslist.org/cto/4942940982.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Without the paint job and "show car" interior it would be pretty rad Agreed, if it was simply red with black interior they might actually sell it for north of $10k.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
