Hi guys weâ€™ve just acquired a 2005 Alpina B5 #61 and was wondering if any previous owners are on here?

The car has come to us with very light frontal damage from an insurance company, itâ€™s currently in the body shop having the damage sorted. Wing, Bonnet and a headlight.

What would you guys value the car at considering itâ€™s now listed as a Cat N

Itâ€™s currently done 126k with full service history, last service at 124k
2 keys, Wheel Hub keys ect

Currently has black wheels which will be getting powder coated back to original silver along with the black grills going back to chrome.

Our aim is to put the car back totally standard as it should be.

Regards Ryan

This was a sytners demo n had an lsd fitted
Cheapest b5 is 17k but last year a b5 with 120k was for sale at 11k approx
Are you wanting a price to sell it ?

I know it was previously up at circa 17k Manchester way on but of course now with the insurance marker would change it value
Yes pls put the silver rims back on it had horrid smoked rear light and it didn't have the rear badges I think if you put it completely stock you will have a better chance of selling it
Also details of service history will help

I also found that advert looks like that was 2000 miles ago.

Silver wheels is a given. The smoked back lights where the first thing I have removed luckily was only a vinyl.
Badges are in the car but have been painted black so Iâ€™ve ordered new ones, along with chrome kidney grills
Service wise itâ€™s fully stamped up will double check whatâ€™s actually been done on each one.

Considering it sold 2000 miles ago which I reckon going of the history was around 12 months ago for Â£17,000

Also taking into account itâ€™s now going to be listed and the money Iâ€™m going to put into it making it look like it should do again.

I think Iâ€™m going to try it at around Â£14,000 and go from there

Regards Ryan

Seems a fair starting point assuming the repair is of a good standard
Big things with these motors is the supercharger and incorrect oil filters being used maybe worth checking what paper you have see if it been changed
An engine pic will allow the more knowledgable to confirm if that is original or been changed

Ohh it will be of good standard, Iâ€™ve a 1998 M3 Evolution that heâ€™s painted for me a few years back and itâ€™s 100% bang on.

Once itâ€™s back from the paint shop Iâ€™ll get some photos of the car and upload them

Struggling to upload pics on here, just will not load up for some reason. Is there a trick to it?

Make sure the image file isnâ€™t too large. Failing that most people use 3rd party hosting sites to show their pictures.

Pictures of service book and supercharger as requested

Looks like you have the original supercharger (or older style at least), this may well change potential buyers view on the car as most are on the newer version by now. consider it a ticking time bomb as most buyers will, and assess any purchase price accordingly IMHO..
Do you have any evidence of a replacement being fitted and if so at what mileage/date?
Also do you have evidence of which oil filter part number was fitted at each service as these are important points to check when buying/selling one of these cars.
