[Custom] Tuetonic Tuesday Special: Alpina B1

I have noticed that lately I am in a bit of a silver period. I used to think silver cars were the most bland things on the road, but probably with the semi-recent influx of the non-metallic colors like browns and weird poopy yellows, silver is definitely catching my eye. A few cars that look phenomenal in silver are BMW 3 series, the Matchbox Fisker Karma, and of course the i8.

So to satisfy my silver cravings I have embarked on a set of silver custom BMWs (and a few others, to be revealed at a later time. How is Friday for you?). A 3.0 CSL is in the finishing stages, I have an E92 and an E36 on deck, and probably an E46 as well. Hot Wheels already did a silver E30 so I am covered there.

But first up, an imaginary 1-series prepared by Alpina, makers of the Giant B7, and former greats such as this guy, and this guy. The B1.

Silver paint, hand painted lights, badges, and kidneys all around, a Dutch license plate that I think turned out so-so (Too tiny. Next time, I’m decalling it.), painted Alpina-style wheels with Alpina center caps, and a black interior with blue trim and Alpina detailing. What do you guys think?
