I had B10LJK on my D3. Which is now on my F31 320d. However we brought it for the sequence as we have A5 to C15 family plates

I notice that its fitted with Pirelli instead of the usual Michelin

I assume that is Andrews old one.

I used the spare wheel from my old E46 330i. It was a space saver, I only ever used it to hold the car up whilst I took one of the wheels to sort out a leaky tyre valve. But you can pick them up cheap on eBay. I'd make sure you get one for a 6 cylinder to ensure it clears brakes etc.

I personally would leave it de-badged the way the germans have theirs.

It is strange that it has the standard paddles instead of buttons isn't it?

We had the graphite graphics & were due to have the stripes fitted before we decided to upgrade to a new 320d.

Shame as I think it would have really set the car off

They have sold one B5 edition 50, the owner of Bramleys has one arriving early next year

We modified a socket to tighten one of ours after a refurb, however we still needed a helpful forum member to fix the issue.

I wouldn't want to touch them again, the wheels are as soft as butter!!

To be honest our new car is perfect for our needs, but this would have tempted me

What!!!!! I would have been tempted by this had it gone up last month...

Sadly we have treated ourselves to something else.

Good luck with the sale

Hi everyone. Well sadly it was time to move our D3 on & it is now up for sale at Sytner Cardiff. http://www4.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201510027424246?radius=1500&fuel-type=diesel&postcode=sy226ln&sort=default&search-target=usedcars&page=2&onesearchad=used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew&model=alpina&bod...

Wow that is a very smart looking F31

We didn't like the bright silver, so in some lights you can barely see it.

We'd seen no 97 a long time ago & the B3 that Ade replaced it with which is why we went with that colour
