Saddle tanned Forsyth hide with yew veneer...

Perfect with green rhombs and paint!

i have Alpina badges back and front but like the idea of changing one back to BMW just for the confusion it would cause. Maybe we need a twin badge made? Get your designs in lol

What confusion? All ALPINA boot or bonnet roundels are fake, the proper ones are fitted in Buchloe.

That works for me too. Only real ALPINA stuff should have ALPINA written on it...

Car: B10 V8
Tyre: Michelin PS2 - 13k miles (rears), >30k miles (front)

Got a few pics, some are a bit odd - new prescription sunnies don't play nice with my viewfinder is my excuse...

Chas's cars looked stunning and the B8 was really stirring a lot of interest.

Good hoon on the A93 there and back too.

I've had my 340bhp B10 V8 up to 168mph (5600rpm in top) on the A7 North of Hamburg. It was still accelerating, all be it gradually, when a Polo on the horizon pulled out to pass a truck... I don't doubt it would have reached 173mph given enough space and 160mph is certainly within the car's usable s...
