BMW Alpina B8 (E36) 4.6 V8 Manual 3rd gear acceleration 0-170kmh

Did you know that?: BMW had already tried to put a V8 in the E36 3-series, but didn’t succeed in designing a version which could be built on the regular E36 production line. Alpina did succeed, however the body had to undergo 42 modifications at the BMW factory before the V8 could fit. To make it fit, the engine isn’t mounted as usual from below- Alpina had to install it from above. Thw B8 has the same suspension as the B3 3.2 with Bilstein gas-pressure units front and rear. The only difference with B3 3.2
