This is a bit of a guess, but looks like this is E92 B3 S BiTurbo #312 to me.

It's FJ61 JWW if that helps.

If I'm correct (and I'm >95%) this is Brian's (B10BRW) old B3SBT, and again if correct it lost the C10 Classics when Sytner swapped them when this and another changed hands over an overlapping period in their clutches. It should now be on Dynamics

Here it is with my own then B3SBT:-

You can be 100% certain Ade, although when I bought it new in 2011 it had classics on

The Ad states 31k but the speedo shows nearly 41k

IMHO a very strong price, I would say 21k is a more realistic value.

Thought so... had to be!
Somewhere on here is a very old thread which details the wheel swap with another B3SBT.

Interesting mileage discrepancy: hope Bolers aren't being naughty, here, and it's just an admin error. Agreed on value at an indie: should be Â£21-22k IMO. Sytner would ask Â£25k, having offered Â£12-13k to buy it into stock

Yes I think it's super sprint there's a YouTube vid and it does sound good but you can see the exhaust produdes out all wrong its staggered like the current alpina on this era they are flush and all in line
Very swirly paintwork

Sorry if the last owner is known on here but it's just my humble opinion

Brian met the last owner with it recently, possibly as Asim mentions above. He wouldn't appreciate the changes, and indeed as mentioned was disappointed the wheels had been changed. The exhaust looks different to me too....I've had 2 and neither look like that!

I'm sure the standard Alpina exhaust is pretty good, no? I can't imagine it being too shabby.

Given the special nature of the car you'd also hold on to it come resale time, no?

Heavy bass notes......

I would, yes. Alpina enthusiasts want genuine on such rare cars.

I had thought of changing the exhaust soon after I bought it.

When Alpina told me an Akrapovič system would cost 6000 euros plus fitting I decided to stay with the original
