Hello from another member in Suisse Romande. Sadly I'm still without Alpina since I left the UK

Just one tip if you run on 10W60, if you ever nip over to France then take a good reserve with you. My Ghibli takes 10W60, but when it needed a top up it was impossible to find any.

on another related note, doesnt scotland have the most alpinas per capita in the world? I reckon Switzerland's in for a good shout. Last year, 50 Alpinas were sold in the UK, 61 in Switzerland. around 8M people in Switzerland, and at any time there are around 80 to 100 used Alpinas for sale. That's...

Who in their right mind would do this to a B12

And then think its worth €200,000

Wasn't that when you had a courtesy car and took it for a run and spotted another Alpina just along the road from this one? IIRC you were very impressed with the fuel consumption! :D Wow, you have a memory like a woman!! That was May 2012 and there was a B3 living up the same street (didn't see tha...

Was it a South African market 333i?
18" sounds a bit big for such a car though

Spotted yesterday (Monday) afternoon around 5pm in Oxford.
Blue with full silver decals, looked very tidy.

I wouldn't mind the B6 Gran Coupe
Looks stunning, specially in Alpina Grün with the two tone Lavalina leather!

Change of plans, I'll be there on Thursday 6th

I'll be there Tuesday 11th

It would be interesting to see what the breakdown is per country. The figures stated on the register for the UK over the last few years are: 2007 = 329 2008 = 174 2009 = 162 2010 = 157 2011 = 135 2012 = 54 2013 = 50 The declining trend is despite there now being a record 8 variants to choose from r...

Only one B5 and not a single B7

I like this rule. Once it becomes clear how expensive cars powered by house warming oil actually are, people will switch to petrol :twisted: On a more serious note, DPF's are there for a reason. Whether you agree or not with all the global warming stuff, it can only be a good thing to remove canciro...

wow I want that!

What's the black plastic box at the front just above the ALPINA sticker?

I don't know if you've ever used Comparis to search cars, they have a very nice feature that follows the price of individual cars over time. The green B5 one has been advertised for over 4 years and seen its price go down from 78800 to 39900. :shock: http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6648/nx4w.jpg

Aaaand it looks like a trader has bought it, now advertising it for 5x the previous chap's price http://www.autoscout24.ch/fr/d/bmw-alpina-5-series-limousine-1990-occasion?allmakes=1&index=0&make=10%2c0%2c0&nav=8&vehid=1963323&vehtyp=10&returnurl=%252ffr%252fvoitures%252fbmw-alpina%253fallmakes%253d...
