I spoke to the current owner earlier today
He’s been told he will get a minimum of £10 to £12k
By just putting an mot on it and giving it a quick wash and polish
235000 miles
Or he thinks he can break the car for parts and achieve more

Tell him not to hold his breath then!!

That was a bargain, missed it!

That's a nice bit of fabrication on the sills Simon. With all that power are there plans to change the diff?

Still showing as for sale on their website

Track days in a Touring with an auto box?!

Yes, I think he post here about the car with pictures after he bought it from 190colditz.

I seem to remember the chap who bought it from member 190colditz did track days in it. Maybe that explains the autbox issues even though the cars done low miles.

That is a fantastic photo of your touring greenelekta. Just love that colour.

Yes, I think Neil took it. It was a at a Sytner meet a few years ago.

Sorry Dave, as much as I love the colour of your V8S, I'd be drilling a few holes in the roof if it was mine.

It's a tidy Touring but they just look wrong without roof rails.

No. Cleaner look with out them, and I'm not biased in any way

Shame its sat like that for 11 years. Looking at the bidding its going to be saved!

Blimey, just found a post Kevin didn’t delete!

Spoke too soon Barry, he's just editted it.

So Kevin is watching!

Nice to see an e24. Agree Dark Graphite would look good but I think I would go for Gold.

Great, better/different than Alpina's E34 B10 Touring experience. Really well done Simon

When was the V8S recall as I can't remember one since 2012 when I got the car. The E39 airbag recall started around 2016 and is still ongoing. I think it only applies to the later cars. I had my V8S done around 2018 and my 530i Sport Touring done in 2019. Also took my Dads 530i SE for its new airba...

When my B10V8S had the recall I made sure they physically looked/checked they had the correct Alpina badged part before going in to have it fitted. Took less than an hour to fit while I waited/wandered about outside. Worth making a fuss before you go in.
