This would be amazing as a Background image! Is there a higher resolution of this pic?

I have asked the owner.

Lets see what we can get.

Got the high res from the owner.



The pic was taken by a free lance photographer so it comes with its terms of use.

The only condition is that I'm not supposed to frame it or otherwise display it without the photographer's credit in the bottom right corner.

Info => Alpina E36 B8 4.6

Like a big brother to the B3, the B8 is very unique because of its V8 engine. Based on the 4.4L from the 540i, it puts out 333 horsepower, 93 and 68 more horsepower than the BMW M3 and Alpina B3, respectively. 350 of its 470nm of torque are available at 1000rpm. Over 40 modifications to the engine compartment had to be made before the V8 fit in. Only 231 cars were built in its three year lifespan from 1995 to 1998 however 4 more detuned versions with a 4.0L engine and 313hp were also built and sold exclusively in Japan.

To achieve the bump in power and displacement over the stock engine, new engine blocks were cast by BMW for Alpina, higher compression Mahle pistons were added, the valve timing was changed, and a new exhaust system and new catalysts were fitted. A six-speed manual tranny made by Getrag is the only transmission available. Exterior differences include a new front spoiler, an optional rear spoiler, optional Alpina decals and 17in Alpina wheels. Given the huge increase in power it is very surprising to see the Alpina accelerate slower than a stock M3, but a conservative estimate may be to blame. If your main concern, however, is showing off your V8 3-series than the B8 4.6 is the car for you

History!

Rumour has it that BMW ///M wanted to put a V8 in the E36, but failed.

Alpina, however, succeeded and BMW ///M had to drop the idea.

E36 with the E30 m3 body shape

This is not an E36 with E30M3 style fenders. This is a unique one off design by Jon Sibal. He bought this thing back in 1995! It went through alot before this final design. Mind you, those are custom one off BBS wheels made exclusively for Jon. Check out his website, www.jonsibal.com .
