Haha I need me one of those! Haha the closest I got is 2 good friends of mine who are very mechanically inclined. One is familiar with BMWs of this vintage so he's been a great hand for insight and assistance with BMW ownership

Was the Alpina Front lip easy to fit on to the front bumper? I am looking at going for an Alpina-esque appearance and have compiled my list of alpina parts I need and that is one of them.

Have always liked the e38's. The car has presence now. Might be over looked by others but I'd spot it out of the crowd!

with this set up yes with a 4 adults in the car I do rub a bit. reduced the rubbing when we went up a turn or 2 and up to a stiffer setting and it reduced it a lot, under heavy load though I will still get some rubbing but far less.
