: Dear Sir:

: cypressgrun/dark metallic green, which is the color which I would want; I'm
: enclosing a link to a picture so that you can see what color I'm talking
: about. The unofficial
: Alpina homepage . Although some might see it as gray on this web site, I
: have the book from where that picture was taken and I can tell you that it's
: green. My question of course, is if these cars ever came in this color and
: more specifically the 81 model year.

Cypressgrun 528i's definitely exist as I considered purchasing one late last year, but didn't (a mistake???). I don't see many, though. It is definitely the best color of the period. They might have been in existence in 1980, definitely in 1981, and I think also in 1982 for E21 and E23. Does anyone have more definite information?
