I'm considering buying an Alpina to bounce around in and this has come up on the MOT history
Should I be worried? Anyone know why this would be the case?
- Vehicle Identification Number has more than one different number displayed (6.3.5.b)
Alpina have 2 VIN. The BMW one is crossed out on the suspension turret and the Alpina one stamped next to it.I'm considering buying an Alpina to bounce around in and this has come up on the MOT history

Be careful who you get to service it. BMW Main dealers are notorious for typing in the BMW vin.. NOT the Alpina vin.. and subsequently fitting the wrong parts! Main dealer fitted the wrong oil filter to mine 3 times!! Hence a blown supercharger.. £4500.
Thanks Bebs, that's really interesting to know and something to check when I look over the receipts.
Mrs H wants a Roadster and I'm looking at early B10s
Those of you looking at B10s and who love an E34 then I have the perfect car for you that we are selling. Nut and bolt restoration, take a look at the underside pictures. It is an amazing car, twice the price of an E34 M5 when new and quite spectacular...

the Alpina register is the forum to go to.
Do you know anything about Belgian car tax etc, fiscal HP and all that especially for a Maserati? It's confusing as **** to me!I have just the thing for you (see above
Though we expect this car to go to Belgium, Eastern Europe or Far East
Indeed, it is the going rate globally for a B10 BiTurbo for a car that has had more than the asking price spent on it since 2019 - bit of a bargain reallyThat’s quite a car!!! Wow. Big ticket though but I can see why.
Thank you!I was expecting that to be more money Looks lovely.
Not really, other than for new cars it is punitive and for older cars such as the B10 brilliant hence why we expect interest from Belgium on this one. In Belgium a car like the B10 is so good because it drives like a modern car with awesome power but costs nothing to put on the road. A new car with the same power would cost maybe 3500 EUR just to register and 3000 per year road tax, so 6500 in the first year and 3000 every year afterward. The B10 is 70 EUR for the first year and 35 EUR for subsequent years. But I don't know the cut off dates or if there is a sliding scale.Do you know anything about Belgian car tax etc, fiscal HP and all that especially for a Maserati? It's confusing as **** to me!
