Just to close the loop on this, the best way to get genuine Alpina parts seems to be to post here You'll get lots of helpful replies that way. Thanks to everyone who helped.

In my case the part I was looking for is EUR800+ new, which is too much for me right now.

According to one person who helped me (they can identify themselves if they wish... ) Alpina will require you to provide:
-a VIN matching the part (i.e. from a 3.2 in this case), which I don't currently have
-evidence that you originally had this part installed and it's now damaged

If this is all true then I find it disappointing that Alpina would set out these requirements even for genuine owners who are looking to mix-and-match parts a little bit. Either way I'm not paying that price for the part so I decided not to push it. The second requirement explains the "quality" parts I see on eBay which look like they've been blown up with dynomite.
