Controversy surrounds Synter conversions and the continuous religious claims that they are true Alpinas.

http://www.m5board.com/vbullet…b12-5-0-a.html#post518150Synter did do some Alpina conversions from 1991 to 1992, but halted them (this is a long story). They do not have the complete Alpina package/treatment.
Simply put, they are not true Alpinas, do not have the unique Vehicle Identification Numbers, etc. They may have the Alpina B12 5.0 tuned engine and other mechanical bits, but that's about all there is to them. They are ordinary M70 cars with some upgrades.
Yes, there is an Alpina plate with this car: 9430. The plate is out of sequence for the 1 of 97 classifications that Alpina has assigned true B12 5.0 coupes. The number 9430 may be a point of showing authenticity of materials used to make this a clone B12 5.0.
This particular car was discussed several years ago here:

The Registry archives are rich in details on this car and we're constantly asked about it.In summary, this car is recorded in the BMW 8 Series Registry and the Alpina Registry as a unique car, but it's pedigree is in serious question. Want a true B12? Make sure it was built in Buchloe and it has the proper credentials. That will greatly contribute to its long term valuation. All Synter conversions tracked by the Registry for sales since 2003 show a sales price more similar to a well kept standard base 850i.

ABS and ASC lights are both on ! As these should go out after a few seconds whilst the car self tests it points to a fault in that system.
Unless the guy took photos 2 seconds after turning IGN to position 2 ??
