Wouldn't have thought so. Most post 2000 B3's are all commanding over £20K.

Is it a coupe or convertible Zorro? sounds cheap to be fair. Beware most BMW dealers will run a mile from them. We service them though. P/x in the future is always tricky though as only Alpina dealers will buy them, they know this and try and "nick" everyone i've ever come across

It's a coupe, looks nice, me thinks I need a test drive of the switchtronic gearbox first. I've read good reports about it but I guess like a lot of things you have to see for yourself.

its a nice box, but you'll leave it in auto 99.99999% of the time. Check the interior with a tooth comb as being hand finished they fall apart a bit....

I've got a soft spot for Alpina's so less obvious than an M3
My old man drives an E36 B3 and on the occasions I've driven it I always play with the switchtronic, but I can imagine when you drive it for any length of time you end up using the slushbox most of the time

The autobox is ok, but changes up very early when in auto mode. No point using the switchtronic around town though, it's just not worth the thought.

I had one earlier in the year for a weekend:

...and have developed quite an affection for them
