Nope. The M62B46 was developed by Alpina using specially cast blocks from BMW - BMW were so impressed by the improvements over the M62B44 they bought the engines back off Alpina - I think they were then built by BMW. The B10S used the M62B48. The N62B48 was then used in the X5.

Confused???

Shooter,
You are right - #1 does have the bigger but plastic window but folds low like yours.
It also stays in situ under the hard top (folded of course) - picture seems to imply you have to remove to fit the hard top?
