Does anyone have any information on Alpinas based on the old BMW 02 ? As far as I can remember, my father used to drive a BMW Alpina 1602 back when I was born. It was the 02 with the round tail lights, but I don't even know the BMW internal code for that model (E0x ???). I could only find infos on Alpinas dating back to the E21.
Any infos out there ? Does anyone still own a car like that ? The car my father drove actually had its engine burn out after a fuel hose came off and it was equiped with a prototype 2.0 liter engine from a small BMW shop near Munich who got these engines straight from the BMW development teams.
if you can get a back issue of the magazine Total BMW (UK mag only I believe, but you can try) in their magazine Sept 01, they did a profile on Alpina, and included was a superb 2002 ti modded by Alpina, and one owner, in Orange-Stunning, and original. I don't have a scanner, but if I can get one sorted I'll try and get a copy of it to you.

I have had one, with the A2s (160 Hp)engine, the "s" stand for " forged" pistones and gave app 10 Hp more than the normal A2 engine.( 150 Hp)
The engine was based on the 2 ltr carburator engine, ( Weber or Solex) mine had WEBER 45 DCOE.
The engine noice on full throttle was amazing
I did a sub 5 hour run from Munchen to Hamburg in that car
The Injection version called A4 and A4s had a very special "kugelfisher einzel drossel" injection system.
I think the Hp number on those engine was 160-170 Hp.

Did yours have the round tail lights ? I'll give Alpina a call next week to see if they have any records on the cars they sold. Since my father had bought his first hand, they might still have it on file.
