Thanks Metrics, I've gone over to the dark side, I have a Tesla Model X on order which arrives any time now. I thought long and hard about it - with the relatively short distances I have to travel from home and the huge tax incentives coming soon for all electric cars makes it a bit of a no-brainer....

So my B5 Bi Turbo has found a new home, I thoroughly enjoyed the car in the few months that I had it, and did some very enjoyable miles in it. I would like to share my experience of selling the car. After posting that it was going to be for sale, I was approached by James from the forum who said he ...

Someone needs to get this before it ends up at webuyanycar Anyone going to see it Yep, the rate it's being price dropped, it's going to be traded in/WBAC'd very soon and then it'll be up for £30k before you know it! Does Metrics fancy it .. could have a pair of lucky 13's then :lol: You say he clea...

I have not had it long and while it is great to drive, both in comfort and for that occassional burst of exhilaration, I have had to face the fact that it just does not suit my needs. It was brought from Sytner earlier in the year and I have done 7,000 very pleasurable miles in it since. It will no ...

"The car is #8424"

Not sure if that was a typo as that number seems high to me, but assuming this is a BiTurbo and the number is right - if you get the car you may be interested in a reg I have - 8424BT ?

Lemme know if this is of interest

Hi Dan - have PM'd you...

I found my B5 at LV (and have insured it there 'cos it was the only site that would touch the LSD), but I had to look under BMW first and then Alpina if that helps at all...

I drive a green B5, and while it happened to be the colour it came in I do think it looks good and often get strangers comment on it. If I was going to be stuck on the South Circ on a regular basis I would be far more concern with having the adaptive cruise control that my car has - it makes traffic...

I called Sytner last week to enquire about the car, the sales guy I spoke to said they had "very strong" interest in it, and that someone in Wales (think he may have said Cardiff) was probably about to put down a deposit. That may have been their attempt at generating a feeling of urgency in me but ...

Thanks Metrics, will update when get chance, off to Goodwood this Friday if anyone is about? Hi Christian, did you ever get to see it - I'm toying with the idea of viewing but it is a long way for me to go and a wasted journey if there were any obvious issues that put you off and I could not live w...

I brought Sytner's B5 Press Car and it had a good spec (I think) - it introduced me to active cruise control and now there is no going back - it is a brilliant option, ironically at it's very best in slow moving heavy traffic.

I posted these a while back and then realised that the site hack meant they were lost so thought I'd put them back online as I thought they captured just how special Alpina make the inside of their cars

Not many more miles and up £1,400 from Sytner's last sticker price.

Well at least it is good to know that they are appreciating in price already

Thanks Norrie - I have already told them I have very little trust in the work their workshop carried out as I think they should have picked up on the pads as well - plus I had already advised them from the test drive that there was vibration at certain speeds which as far as I know is down to the bu...

Hi Guys, I'm after a little bit of advice and the benefit of your collective experience. I recently brought a 2018 B5 (from Sytner Nottingham) and the day after it arrived the brakes began to squeal horrendously. This was not the way I wanted the car to turn heads, but it did the noise was so loud. ...
