F30 D3 Low miles. Top spec.

F30. D3 Low Miles Top spec 2015 (65) I am probably going to regret this but I have pretty much decided to sell #232 as I am not using as much as I should. Currently on 49,600 miles with full service history. BMW and independent. Spec includes: Merino leather upgrade in Cashmere beige Alpina blue II ...

Re: Advice Needed - Broken Diff

Sorry to hear that, but I have used Shipley in the past. Not sure if spelled correctly. The transporter bid on doing the job and you often get someone doing a return load so it’s much cheaper. 👍👍

Re: Snow foam rules

As a newbie to snow foam, I looked at various vids on YouTube - half of which said spray SF onto dry car, half said pressure wash car first What is the accepted “ normal routine “ for Alpina owners. Thanks

Help needed pairing phone B3 e93

Don’t know whether it’s the same on the e90 ? I have paired my iPhone 13 with the car , but I can only get the phone numbers to appear on the screen, rather than the actual name as it appears in the phone itself. I seem to remember a similar problem on my old e90 D3. But I can’t remember what I did ...

Re: Bicester Scramble - April 23rd

I too will be going. Hopefully the “ new to me” e93 B3 will be back from the indie by then. Anyone planning to meet up first in Bicester or Brackley and drive in together?

Re: Has The Time Finally Come

I think the prices vary wildly on these. I missed one at £10k with 78,000 miles and a hardtop included but there are others at £28k without a hardtop which is totally unrealistic. I have looked at a few and there are a lot that have been rough round the edges. If you are serious about selling, pleas...

Re: Looking to purchase Alpina e46 B3

Welcome to the forum. I was looking at the blue one imported from Japan. It does look in good condition but I can’t see where it says UK specifications- it says UK registered which is slightly different . I have never bought an imported car - are all the invoices etc in Japanese ? How do you confirm...

Re: Breakdown cover

I am with Nationwide who offer similar to the NatWest one. I was with Green Flag before and it was half the price to pay for the Bank Account rather than breakdown cover, and you get free gadget cover and travel insurance too. 😃😃

Re: F30 D3 Oil

Not ever had to top mine up.... but I do buy the bmw oil 0w 30 for twin turbos. My indie had difficulty in getting oil at the last service so I buy it in advance via eBay from Fairbairns in Glasgow.
