The only thing that stopped me and possibly others contacting you about your car was Sadiq Khans implementation of the extended ULEZ.

Re: E46 B3S Suspension - Still Available?
I believe Bilstein do a shock specifically for the E46 B3. Almost identical without infringing the patent rights.

Re: E46 B3S service schedule
Welcome to the forum. Would this be of any help to you? https://www.thealpinaregister.com/downloads/alpinaservicechecklist.pdf It doesn’t give you the mileage that the services should be carried out at but the service indicator on the speedo instrument cluster should give you an idea when the next s...

Re: ULEZ - older ALPINAs
My request for the documents took about 3 weeks. The documents I received were by post and not email.

Re: E46 headlights condesnsating.....
Re: the lenses. How are you with a bit of sanding paper and a polisher Rav? I managed to polish the lenses on mine to an almost new finish. It’s a fairly simple process and there are few online tutorials available. This video here https://youtu.be/OiSSEvskgHE gives a good example.

Re: I didn’t know
Barry isn’t taking the pee. Have you tried holding the middle button down. Open a window and then try. Honestly. But then again I confess I didn’t know about the headlights.

Re: E46 B3 front dampers
Thanks for the replies. I've not had a reply from Alpina, hence my original post. Frank at FMW doesn't have any information on availability either. In the meantime I'll try and use a Sachs MSport II equivalent, and if I get news I shall update the thread. I’m sure that Bilstein do a shock that come...

Re: E46 B3 front dampers
I believe that they are still available. As James_G alludes to they are expensive. https://www.fmw-tuning.de/bmw/3er-e46/e ... 3-e46.html.

Re: Colour Match
The seats are looking good! If you have a build sheet would there be a reference to the interior plastics on there? Failing that have you looked at this? https://paintwell.co.uk/owatrol-polytrol-colour-restorer?paint_can_size=500ml&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInrWf1fLhgQMVZItQBh2WAwZiEAQYAiABEgL31fD_BwE Is th...

Re: B10 3.3 Throttle Body
I think the best way to solve this is to email Alpina and ask them what the part number is. You may have to provide proof of ownership via a scan of the V5 but it should put your mind at rest.
