Hi Hap It was Revive in Lincoln on site at their place. They did a couple of wheels on my EQC and made a good job with the diamond cutting so I gave then the job I wasnt completely happy with the finish if I am honest but in fairness to them they did the whole process again and it was much better se...

Ok so now only 3 and 1/2 years after starting my quick "Cosmetic Refresh" I think I am done Wheels have now been refurbed and although I had to reject the first attempt, which the company were very good about and did them again completely and without any qualms, they are now looking good. I bought s...

Sorry forgot to answer the other question

I didn’t change the ashtray just the phone/coin tray surround and the surround of the rear tray

Hi Hap Yes the side repeaters are essentially plug and play. You need to free the clip with a screwdriver and then it just pops out and then unplugs. I think they were about £40 each and are OEM. I am going to get the OEM centres again. Just need to find the best place to get them from. Have you cha...

Ok a little bit embarrassing that the last post on here was 2021. I know I havn't been updatng but didnt think it was that long. i haven't been completely idle though. There was a brief wobble where we almost parted company with "The Alpina" (Only a matter of a few days in my defence before we came ...

Must have pulled out I watched the end of the second auction. Fetched £14750 but didn’t meet the reserve so finished unsold. A bit strange as I am sure the first auction went for £15k and the second auction showed “reserve lowered” a few minutes from the end. Can only assume the original reserve mus...

This looks a nice B3 on auction. Finishes tonight https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2002-bmw-alpina-e46-b3-3-3-convertible Went through a week or two ago and fetched £15k I think. buyer pulled out apparantly according to the questions on the auction listing. i wouldnt have thought I would like red...

Thanks Fast3000 I think I have given up trying to get the better half to change it. I need to finish off the refresh I started a couple of years ago and then keep it a few more years. I am going to get Colin Woods to have a look at the suspension and see if it needs some parts refreshing then get th...

Thanks Paul It very kind of you to say how much you like mine. We still like it too. I was slightly tongue in cheek about the part ex but in all seriousness when and if you do decide to part with the B4S please let me know. We have had the B3S for 17 years now so if I have to wait a few more it wont...

Thanks Charles Not sure I could sell the diesel option despite it being I am sure a great car. Don’t suppose you have a B4S kicking around that you don’t want 😃 Hi Simon, There are 4 UK F33 B4Ss - they are Silver, Snapper Rocks, Alpina Green and Tanzanite Blue. There are photos of all 4 on here if ...

Thanks Charles

Don’t suppose you have a B4S kicking around that you don’t want

So having tried to persuade Mrs B to part with the B3S for a C43 Mercedes and failing, I came to the conclusion that the only way to get her to part with it would be for another 4 seat Alpina convertible. It seems they dont make one anymore (stand to be corrected on that obviously) and if the did I ...

I saw that one too. When I enquired it turns out to be the same one I bid on at an auction a couple of years ago. sold for £20850 plus fees.It needed a couple of things doing back then and had 10k less miles. It does look nice but no idea if it had the cosmetics fixed back then. I expect it did. The...

Clearly has as good a taste in cars as she does men.

The B3S did look and sound nice at the weekend to be fair. It is definately aging better than me
