2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but can be alot better
For those looking to buy this book because of photo's of old Alpina BMW's, skip this book. However, for those seeking tech info and history about Alpina, this book is good. 2002 owners, skip this book also.

There's no part numbers and production dates of the parts listed and little detail goes into the 2002 (only 3 pages).

This review is from: BMW Alpina (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
A great book full of interesting data about the Alpina production. History, units built, specs, everything is there. The only flaw is that it doesn't contain enough color pictures, just a few in the middle of the book. I wish it had lots of full color pictures. Besides that, the information is excellent and a great addition to the collection of any BMW fan.
