Been a while since I've seen a Craigslist-esque train wreck ad.

Just gonna get this out of the way

Reading the comments, Alpina guys are just like Porsche guys...

I think it's sick.

This is a really nice example and looks like its from a good home. I would love to own one of these some day, just think it's a very unique car. One's like this at this price point won't exist much longer if I had to guess.

I'm sure maintenance is a nightmare, but V12 BMW.

Also, other than the center console with the 3 head units, this interior has aged extremely well.

This is too well written to not be a trap.  The pictures are clear and of decent quality, the description is informative and I couldn't find any mention of knowing what he has or grammatical errors.  This has got to be a scam.

BMW V12 maintenance "12 of everything and 2 of everything else"

The dream car of my youth could/would turn into the midlife nightmare, since I can't just say "Mike, fix it"  

it sure looks clean with just the right touches

I’ve personally seen this car in person. It’s very well done, but I still for the life of me do not understand the rear doors.

This is lovely, and I hate red cars.

So...those doors are real?  From factory?  Not chopped?  So many questions......

I just want to know why they did it.  Also, what's up with the pedal box?  Is this as terrible as it looks?

[Boris3]

Re pedalbox: maybe to help with heel and toe? Adding pedal extenders and bending the pedal arms for heel and toe was something some Miata folks would do. Depended on foot siize, cramped footwell, and all that.

i like the decision to keep the rear 'doors'. it emphasizes the modification and makes it whimsical, versus just looking like a factory 2 door micro-car.

In typical Marketplace fashion this sold in a matter of hours. $14k for an E30 touring with a M47 6speed diesel swap

It was just too cool not to share

that wagon is sweet! too bad rhd, definitely a deal breaker for anyone who realizes how much of a pain in the balls that would be.
