Re: G21 B3 Touring #579

Lovely car. I wonder if the alcantara wheel is a alpina option? As the stitching looks cross stitched which is not how Alpina traditionally do things..

G21 B/D3 White M40 Northbound

Re: Multi fake stickered E46 B3S 237

I guess it's worth trying their luck for international buyers as Singapore prices or Japan prices are similar to what they have priced it at. They just need to find a buyer in Japan who also loves stickers.

Re: B10 or B5 ??

No idea but great question. i think Alpina called them B10 as their own model but then to be 'inline' with BMW moved to 5. You may also know there was a D10 for the European market.

Re: New owner saying hello!

Congrats! It looks like a great purchase - great past ownership and condition to begin with. Mines been somewhat of a rolling restoration for past 7 years focusing on mechanicals first then aesthetics (more preventative and my own OCD rather then anything urgent/major). Avtar has certainly inspired ...

Re: B5 G30 interior trim

Welcome and glad you are enjoying the B5. Probably worth contacting Alpina directly (email on website etc). They will probably suggest purchasing the parts via Sytner Nottingham as they are the main point of contact in UK. If you are price conscious person prepare yourself for nice bill on these ext...

Re: Pirelli P-Zero v Michelin p4s

A really interesting debate. Alpina homologated or going alternative My F30 (320D Sport) Runs Pirelli P7 cinturato p7 RFT The B3S runs Michelin PS4 tyres. Granted the Alpina is a different car when it was new, (e.g. higher end when new) but the ride quality is miles ahead of the F30. Also the B3S is...

Re: Welcome #188

Congrats on the purchase earlier this year! A real labour of love - had mine for 7 years now - still not bored :)
+1 on the Alpine head unit (I have the ILX 702e46). The updated one is even better.
