whoa! hold up! firstly, Alpine make audio equipment not turbo's.
secondly, you cant jus buy a turbo and stick it on, its not hat simple, its a job for experts converting a N/A car into a Turbo'd car. It will cost you thousands of pounds to have it done..

russ alpina (afaik) do performance bits for bimmer...

wouldnt think it would be cheap thou

[Russ]

oh.. he said apline

[dkmech]

Well, MY Alpine stuff makes my car go faster... the more I turn it up.. the quicker it goes!

Deckard you must have got the alpine sunstrip, I hear they give about 40BHP, have you noticed much of a difference in fuel consumption with it??

Seriously though im not sure alpina do a turbo kit and if they did it would probably be a job for a garage to fit it.

Good luck.

fnebster.....

you coming back, to read this, or you just drunk when you posted it?

Alpina are bound to do a turbo if you pay them enough......

go google it....

I have a video of an M3 Evo thats been turbo charged doing the quater mile in 8.8 seconds, i want a turbo bimmer.

A turbo kit for any run of the mill cari s going to be a good few k

A Alpina turbo kit for a BMW is going to be insanely expensive, plus labour charges at a BMW garage will be massively expensive.

Imo, sell the BMW and get a turbo'd car instead if you really want one that bad.

Aye they seem pretty decent to turbo/supercharge from what I have heard..... Shame I dont have 7K I dont know what to do with or I could SC mine..... 407BHP and 390lb/ft all from a nice 5psi

Aye, I'd say go for the SC or even NOS, yes I know its cheating but u can have it just when u need the kick or not have it when your just pottering around, saves the need for extra cooling if u go via the turbo route...
