Thank you.

The TWR is a real special one also. Good luck with your car. I'm impressed how much information, pictures, and history you have found on your car. Maybe because TWR had a lot better record of history then what Hartge have? (Hartge records was almost non existing at that time they where only tuners. And was not really good after they become manufacturer either )

TWR was 240hp? That will also be a handfull to manage with the heavy M30 in front
Guess its the M90 block. What mods did they do to get 240?

Hartge did not do any upgrade to the engine when they swaped. And Hartge brocures states 205hp. I don't know how they ended up with 205hp since no E24 had it (Tho one place stated that German 215hp cars did in fact have 205hp due to smoke and noise restrictions?) At least it looks like the 215hp version and I can not belive that the Hartge headers restricts any more then the original E24 iron cast exhaust manifoil

My car was kind of strange also with a lot of Alpina parts. I first thought it may be an original Alpina that Hartge did there work on, since it had Alpina wheels, Scheel/ASS Alpina seats, Alpina stripes and Alpina stickers places noone just doing a Alpina conversion would put them. And according to records it looks like its been in the car from new. But Alpina did not have any record of the car been to Buchloe.
But Hartge was a Alpina dealer at the time so guess they also put in everything the customer wanted to put in the car. But sure is a strange combo
