Are you sure it is a E30 not a E21?
The E30 version I thought was the B6 2.8 http://www.supercars.net/cars/1985@$...0B6%202.8.html

Found it!!!
Oh dear
"Alpina offered the C1 almost immediately, with a longer camshaft, blueprinted engine and stiffer suspension - it is seen as the closest Alpina has ever come to making a lemon (contemporary road tests didn't quite go into cataplexy over it and merely said it was a very good car). On the other hand, the C1 set the Alpina style in use today, with wide, elegantly spoked wheels, a pert rear spoiler and no silly (ahem, AMG-type) skirts. It did sport a massive great cowcatcher spoiler and was available with the distinctive 'Deko-set', the trademark side stripes which, being the 1980s, also included the front spoiler.
Alpina C1. Not so much a racing car, more a status symbol for the 1980s stockbroker with a heroic intake of nose candy and enough independent thought not to buy a Porsche..."
