Nice find. Not really a very hot looking car vs. the M3 or a nicely equipped 335i coupe IMHO. The B3 BiTurbo badging looks like it was applied by Stevie Wonder.

I had the same question as to whether this was a fake ??

I think it is a fake. Those definitely are BMW roundels, not Alpina badges. And what's up with that ugly pinstriping going to the tail lights? At first I thought it was bad lighting or a flash issue. The closer I look, the less I like it.

I noticed that the front Roundel from Autoblog was also blue+white, not the usual Alpina roundel.
