Wanted 2014/2015 Alpina D3 or D4

Yamzuki · Post by **Yamzuki** » Wed Aug 15, 2018 2:39 pm

Hi, this may seem like a strange first post but its time for a change.

I have owned Nr426, a 61 plate Black D3 Bi-Turbo lux saloon since March 2014, covering just over 80K in it...but now I'm looking for a replacement D3 (or possibily a D4). My ideal spec would be as follows:

Year - 2014/2015 (no older since company rules don't allow it!)
Exterior colour - Any considered.
Interior trim - black only (not beige or tan)
Mileage - max 45K
Budget - max Â£28K, dependant on year/condition/spec

For those that may be wondering nr426 won't be for sale since my good lady wants it!

PM me through the site and I'll get back to you.

This one also slightly up on your target miles but price on budget looks very nice and main dealer history

Hap, thanks, the blue one has been sold

Good luck
I would put a holding deposit to ensure it doesn't sell before u get to view

Surprised the blue one has been sold, it's still heavily promoted on AT. The black one only recently failed to sell as a private sale at Â£27.5k.

There are a few D4's about that would've been in budget when they appeared initially as private sales, but now dealers have them up Â£30-35k.

Keep an eye out and you should find them when they appear.

Forgot about this one, which was a Sytner Press Car with some magazine coverage in it's past. Bit high on the miles at 84k though.

D4 BiTurbo #016 Â£27k

Nice car, nice spec and colour.

Wheels have been done - interesting chrome finish paint has been used.

Lost its Deko stripes too, which is a shame

Can't take any credit ... it's borrowed from the Alpina Register entry!. There is a series of them which look pretty glossy, so i assume they're from a magazine article.

Can you get custom wheel finishes from the factory? If it was a press car, maybe it was a 'special'?

I think it was press car that pic is from the autocar test
Good driving with lsd fitted

My old car, shadow chrome wheels by The Wheel Specialists in Nottingham. It was the Sytner demo car and they had the wheels coated. I had the stripes taken off, personal preference. My current D4 in black also has no stripes.

Good to know, the finish is notably different.
