My alpineweiss beauty - Deutsch inspired
 

It took me a while, but I finally got around to taking some decent shots of my girl. I purchased this car bone-stock in March 2011: flew into Newark from Detroit and drove her straight home without issue. The car is in fantastic shape, thanks to the meticulous nature of the previous owner and his aversion to snow, and I plan on putting her away from Dec. 1 until next spring.

As you can see, the mods aren't anything crazy. I think the e46 body style looks fantastic as is, so I kept a nice OEM + look. I have always loved classic Alpina styling, and was lucky enough to find an authentic lip at a reasonable price. I think it adds some character and is more unique to the model than an M-Tech II or M3 front bumper.

:yikes: Needs a drop.

Everything else looks great, I'd recommend some black/white roundels :thumbup:

Interior is beautiful, lovin the lip, but needs a drop...

why can't more people on this forum mod with the precision and excellence as you have shown us? Lovely car

Drop? It's perfect!!!! Nicely done!

love it looks clean :drool: if your ever selling that alpina lip i call dibs :eeps:

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with how the car has turned out thus far.

I figured the number 1 comment would be about the ride height haha. It's on stock sport suspension currently. I might drop it a bit come spring time, but nothing crazy. I already scrape the lip on most driveways and would probably cry if I busted it. You're right though, some sort of drop should probably be on the cards.

Haha you got it, #1 on the list. Don't get your hopes up though!

Looks CLEAN,

but paint the shark fin antenna white so it looks much better!

:excited: omg love that lip!!

Dude Im in love :luv:

so clean :drool: you have excellent taste in your modding.

looks perfect. needs a drop though

I would paint the whole bumper whites are a little off. Love the look though

Love the Alpina lip, interior looks very well taken care of :thumbup:

Get some Alpina (genuine) wheels for it...

This pic is pure money.

beautiful coupe

Haha I'm not that much of a baller. The lip was $$ enough.

Yeah, the new one is a little brighter. It bothered me at first but I'm used to it now. I imagine it will fade into it a little bit though.

thanks :thumbsup:

yeah, definitely my favorite mod

thanks!

that alpina lip has transformed that bumper +1000000 times better.

Eh, I'm sure you could find a used set go for a little more than what you paid for the CSLs, just have to hunt them down... 18" OEM Style 32s would be super sick on your car too :thumbup:
