Alpina Green B3? Westburn Rd
Alpina Green B3? Westburn Rd
Just off Ashgrove Rd earlier today. I didn't catch the model but assume its a B3 3.3. I guess this one is known about.
2005 Roadster S #306 - owned since 2018
2009 B3 Bi-turbo coupe #157 - owned since 2011
2015 F31 335d Xdrive - purchased Sept 2021

I can assure you that this one is Alpina Green
Remember it's the 90s version rather than the newer Alpina Green II, which is darker. I've had this E36 parked next to my E32 and the colour is identical. To be fair, it looks different when seen in isolation, as it does on the E39 Touring I had in my drive for a while!

Hi Guys, Just came across this thread and the owner works beside me. He has had it for quite some time but has never put it on the register. I'll let him know today that his car has been spotted and it is parked in the same location today.

Yes, it was there today and is there most days. Doesn't like using the company car park. Spoke to him today and shoed him this thread and he was surprised but had an idea who you were Chas.

Although I have worked with Malcolm for a few years at this company we previously used to share an office at BP many moons ago so I know him well. I will get some more details on the car tomorrow and try and persuade him to register the car.

AFAIK one of two 'Manual' B3 3.2 in the country. The other being an ALPINA Blue

That's much lower miles than I would have expected. I almost bought it when it was last for sale but Malcolm beat me to it!JASV8S wrote:Mileage is about 72k and he was surprised at its rarity.
The rarity is a double-edge sword. The USP of the Alpina was the switchtronic box so a manual box can be percieved as a negative, a bit like deleting the air-con in favour of a sunroof.
For my part, I prefer manual and a sunroof
