Congrats on the purchase. B5 will make a great daily!

It looks like it needs decent amount of time with a detailer. Even the engine bay looks . Hopefully it has had better care mechanically! I guess you can always get BMW warranty as it’s 4 years old!

I am tempted, although I would prefer lighter colour interior. What kind of price range is reasonable?

We were really after a green B5 Touring and I think I just need to wait for the right car (to us) comes along. The B5 GT would be even better but I suspect none will come to the market for a while?

Very tempted but not sure what Sytner are like taking offers?

Thanks to this helpful post my 2001 B3 Touring is now ULEZ exempt. Sent the emission certificate from Alpina and V5C (remember to send all the pages) and few days later got the approval email.

I don't drive it in London much but its nice to know it complies the emission standards.

It’s sad news, for me it will lose the Exclusiveness of a small manufacturer. Will they bow out with some really special models? Also what will happen to the car values and parts availability?

Will the model be B3S or B3 still?
I think we are ready to upgrade our daily (F30 B3) with a facelift G21 B3S!

Green B3S looks the best, lovely colour!

Good to see fair few cars in Alpina Blue and Green on the list. We had a test drive with Gary last week and very tempted.

I had the conversion carried out by BMR on my B3 Touring. I didnt mind the Auto but the manual suits the car and is more fun!

At that mileage I would have thought it’s the torque converter/gearbox that may need attention? #113 is now on 160k miles on original HG but second gearbox rebuild. The latest being the manual conversion by BMR. I went to view this car as I was in the office today and Jamie is not far. I am consider...

Did this car sell or come on the market somewhere?

Hello All, hope you are keeping well.

Our B3 is nearly 7 years old and wondering what’s the best oil to use considering the age and also provides best protection.
I believe the dealers used 0w40 on the last service. Any recommendations please?

Quite tempted by the G21 (in Alpina blue/green), although difficult to justify another toy.

Will there be an updated more powerful B3S Version released soon?
