There is a B10 V8 for sale locally for £2400 R plate but non Alpina wheels and non Alpina seats . I could buy that for a few months to scratch the V8 itch without having to sell the B3 If the weather improves I may go and see it later today Having had a few E39s (and being an avid V8 fan) I would ...

I think non-uk citizens would have found it perplexing, but it was well done. For me the worst things were Macca and poor Muhammed Ali being put on display. So tragic.

Hi All;

Just wondered - If you hid an old mobile somewhere in the car that was connstantly on, would the Police be able to triangulate onto it and if you could - would they if your car got stolen? save a lot on a tracker!

Hiya. I wonder if you have the same problem I had on mine. Only occurred when hot and suffered hard down shifts from 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st. In all other respects the transmission worked fine. It is a known fault that I never was able to cure. I have sold the car now, but see my other posts.... c...

Good one - however a guy on the 300c forum has supercharged his and does about 720rwhp!

Re: I have parted with My B10 after 6 years of ownership!!!!

Have a guess or two if you wish and see who gets it correct :lol: Thomas V8. Chrysler 300c SRT8 touring? Only choice for me in the absence of any B10 V8 esates or B6 estates when I needed more carrying capacity. Goes like hell with 425BHP and to my mind looks great. Way cheaper than any BMW/ Audi/ ...
