As for the insurance, I'll admit that I didn't do an exhaustive search. But basically they don't have a risk model for the car so they don't know what to do with it. They can't even run the Alpina VIN. So all the brokers I called said they wouldn't touch it. Generally for insurance anything that's outside the norm is a "don't bother", except for specialty insurers like Hagerty. You might be able to register / insure as a 328.

Others here seem to have had more success so maybe I just called the wrong people.

I've done a fair bir of rearch and I'm pretty sure it does (see, for example, the "Alpina Archive":

Note link at the bottom of the page re the 2.8 touring (based on the technical specs of the 2.8/2).
