Well the folk at BMR had my car for a few days for a number of pre-emptive and a few issues to be fixed. Given the motor is approaching 150k there are some things that I couldn't risk leaving any longer. Complete automatic gearbox oil exchange and filter change Replace timing chains and guides Repla...

Quality Paul, complete with 80's red frame!

welcome back. I did the same having sold my old car in 2012 and came back to Alpina in 2020.

I am so tempted by this car, just need my current garage extension and landscaping to be completed then I know what I have available for a weekend car!

Sorry. I hadn’t realised a RHD UK G31 D5 existed. Just read up and it’s seems like it does. Never seen one for sale or reviewed and just presumed for some reason they hadn’t sold them over here. Anyone have any idea of rough numbers in the UK? I am pretty sure they did not bring a G31 D5 touring to...

I have one of the F11's with a factory towbar. Before I got this car I was looking at a B5 F11 that didn't have either towbar or roof rails, either I was looking for for mounting bikes etc. The roof bars as a retrofit were hugely expensive and the towbar, as you can see is available with aftermarket...

Congrats on the purchase, looking forward to seeing the pics after you collect from the detailers!

Looks like a nice car.

My F11 is closing in on 150k and still a fun economical drive.

its not quite the truth i've done it over a couple of saturday and sunday afternoons Matt, I'd like to be able to have patience skill to detail cars. I'm better at driving them dirty! :lol: I'm with Simon here, don't have the patience or skill to carry out Matt level cleaning. What flavour is the E...

Post something up when you are next visiting, I am in Wivenhoe and my brother also with a F31 D3 has his outlaws in Felixstowe too. Would be good to have 4 cars meet!
