Great to see the care and love she is receiving.

I would have talked for longer but I was outside my favourite Thai takeaway with a waiting order on the counter and hungry family at home.

Keep up the write ups I love em.

She looks a lot fresher inside and out. :clap: :clap:

Those brakes look subtle enough and I bet make a real difference.

The pump is in the boot under the spare and quite a quick job to get at. Sure some lubricant on the orange rubber and gentle stretching of the springs will keep her level soon enough.

What's the plan on the supercharger??

Awesome. Those 19"s will take some big brakes.

The gearbox is a little interesting project

Great pictures and post Ryan and I am so glad you bought it off me before putting those mirrors on!

261 not bad and I never witnessed a rolling road on the exact 6 years I owned her, nor any other car I have owned tbh.

I hope you really enjoy her and find the missing ponies

11 years end of an era

Well after 11 years with B10 3.3 tourings #11 and 6 years to the day of owning B10#58 I now no longer have an Alpina on the drive. Happily the car has moved onto an enthusiast who is loving her already and joining up with his friend who has a B5. Thanks for all the positive comments of support and a...

Car now Sold to a nice Gentleman Ryan who appears to be in a good group of BMW and Alpina enthusiasts so i am sure she has gone to a good home.

I considered selling mine this route but he looked and my car and said he would retail it at £9k and pay me (when he had sold it) for £7k. I didn't negotiate further or explore what he would do but I can't think much/anything otherwise he would have called it out. He gets some nice examples though...

Hi The chap who viewed arrived in a £2k (when he bought it) facelift 530i touring I silver and black with good spec (sunroof). It had 200k miles and a Duff gearbox but he looked at the expenditure I had made and re thought about a + 14 year car for somethings newer for his family wagon. He told me ...

Hi Guys Thanks for the comments my sale has been fraught with bad luck. The autotrader listing yielded one viewing and that gentlemen found the car after other register owners pointed him to the at advert. He had been looking on autrotrader but because of the way they now split Alpina ads between BM...

Coldtiz b10 toured was a v similar mileage and sold in a couple of weeks for 11.8k so actually in line with real selling prices. Apart from it's a pre facelift but also then a manual so might appeal to a different buyer.

Now reduced to 7k. I haven't had any viewings so clearly I had overpriced given current market conditions and I want to move her on now.

I am still using her every week to keep her ticking over but the car is surplus to requirements with 2 other cars.

Devaluing a car that's been turned by a dealer for a fast profit is of no use if they don't have the context of what's happened to the car. Devaluing a car offered by an enthusiast without knowledge or viewing or any interest in buying wouldn't be welcomed by any seller. It creates a negative percep...
