NOTICE FOR THE ORIGINAL POST - This is for people who saw the original post. I had deleted the post because it went from the actual topic with people saying ‘do what you want‘, to people arguing that my car is up-badged. There was also arguments that ALPINA stopped accepting customer cars ever since the 80’s. Thanks for pointing that out. The seller had told me that the original owner bought the car brand new and allegedly ‘forgot to licence it’ because he was busy doing other stuff. No, the truth is: (this is about the TRUE story of the car) The person couldn’t licence it but was able to purchase modifications from ALPINA such as the Katalysator/Catalytic Converter, transmission, wheels, seat, etc.

Follow up to Present: Because the car isn’t a true licensed ALPINA but technically is at the same time, to help make it a pure ALPINA without a licensing VIN, I’ve been purchasing modifications such as the Bumper Bar, badge for the steering wheel, coolant, performance chips, etc. My car is a grand tourer (GT), but can still output a decent performance. So my car is an E31 850i (ALPINA B12 5.0 Coupé Catalytic Modified) and by the “B12”, you’d know it’s a 5L V12. I have ambitions the car can get 400-500hp at its best. And so I may consider adding twin-turbos to the vehicle. I thought of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, a luxury performance car with a twin-turbo V12. In order for me to make sure the slack is cut if I DO put on the twin-turbos, I will try and put in an ALPINA bi-turbo. It makes sense, doesn’t it? ALPINA performance inside ALPINA performance? It could, if not would absolutely make an ultimate machine.

Take two. So, this raises the question? Is it Blasphemy, or not?

There are 2 rare fire alarm pull stations I have in mind.

The first one is a white RMS-1T, normal red fire lettering.

The second is another white RMS-1T, that is labeled as General Alarm and not Fire Alarm.

How rare are the two out of ten?

Is a System Sensor Speaker Strobe rare? If so, how rare out of 10?

I have a BMW E31 (850i) ALPINA. The owner forgot to licence it, causing it to unable be a true one. I am trying to make this a true ALPINA while also pushing its performance to the best. And that includes me considering to add twin-turbos. But why? Many blasphemy modifications to specially rare cars are cosmetic modifications. When Travis Scott got booed for their blasphemous E30 M3, it was because they put cosmetic modifications that made it a rally car. If I can, I’m thinking about BMW or purely ALPINA Bi-Turbos to also give it a better ALPINA identity. Turbos are also a performance mod and I am also trying to see how good it can perform. Should I do it? Is it Blasphemy or not?

Edit: [FALSE ALARM]
No. Thank you to the people who reminded me that ALPINA stopped upgrading client requested base vehicles ever since 1980. The car is from 1990 and heres what actually happened. ALPINA ever since 1980 only sold already upgraded and licensed models but the only thing they do to base models is modify them with wheels, suspension, etc. My apologies for the confusion.
