Experience says people rarely buy the deco-set compared to the wheels, so at least we know there's a good chance cars with one are genuine Alpinas -plus the different spoilers (like the B11) which isn't applicable here. But how many RLE's if any were ordered without stripes? Browsing this https://www.alpina-archive.com/?cat=51 can't say which ones had them in 1990-91 or how many were done/redone later. But certainly less than the 66 would be w/o stripes. Compared to about 8000 Z1's that's rare. I bet rarer than a wheels "upgrade" imo. -- Last edit: 2022-08-19 23:55:03
