It is indeed a 2.5 (323) with Alpina bits fitted from new. It's a 1996 car and colour is Boston Green.

Not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet but as I mentioned I think I've KO'd the engine so thats a good enough excuse to find a bigger one!

It drove really nice though and dare I say it better than the M5!

I think that Lagoon Green B2.5 used to belong to a mate of mine as he sold it to someone in Aberdeen.

I'm not aware of the car Pete mentioned but the absence of a plaque and incorrect badge positioning makes me very dubious.  I haven't seen the analogue clock since my '92 320 days so I'm guessing it's an older model ('93/'94?).  It has the nice climate option but few other goodies - no cruise or DSC and the seats look standard too, albeit leather.

It's Lagoon Green (as was my first E36) which is still a very nice colour.  There used to be a Lagoon B2.5 and a Lagoon B3 in Aberdeen but I haven't seen them for a while.  I don't think this is either of them.  At least the Alpina wheels, gear-knob and mats are genuine!

I need to see the exhaust to be sure but I'd guess it's a 325 with bits on it.  Second guess would be a 320 and final punt would be a four cylinder version.

It may well be Pete!

I might be on the lookout for an M50(2) 2.5 or 2.8 motor as I think I cooked it on the way home!
