The white B8 I am told that the offered to reduce it by 15K. I think it was 155K and now offered at 140K. Not bad if you have some loose change.
Its a bit Marmite the White B8, White, black decals, red leather. Awesome car difficult to look at (for me anyway)

Re: 2024 potential meet Sytner Maidenhead

Hey Norman,

Yeh I don't want the hassle to be honest. If they are going to make it difficult I'd rather leave it.

Re: Happy birthday #049

That's brilliant, being a 1 owner car is something special but with that mileage as well. I've done 50,000 in mine in the 6 years I've owned it and still enjoy every miles so doing 385K is a bit special.

Re: Sytner Nottingham plates on Collecting cars

B3 BMW is a cool plate.

I can see why they would sell B3 and B10 as Alpina specific but the M3 EST (M3 Estate) you'd think would be used for Demo M3 Touring's.

Re: Snow foam rules

Also comes down to conditions on the day, if its a little warm or a bright day I'd just wash the car first to keep the car wet while the Snow Foam works Generally though I would clean the wheels first before touching the car, that way when I start to clean the paint that's my focus and I don't risk ...

Re: Latest Rumours- only B7 and XB7 from BMW?

In a way I am glad the logo looks completely different. This way it doesn't dilute the history of "ALPINA" as we know it. they will have a separate identity and proposition. Keeping the heritage of ALPINA alive and not confusing people with a new model range that doesn't really fit with the history.

Re: 2024 potential meet Sytner Maidenhead

why not tell them if they let you drive it that you will write an article for the Club mag. I did this many times with cars from Sytner Nottingham. Hey Norman, I did ask this and Maidenhead were willing too, but big brother Sytner stepped in and said I would need Media insurance covered at my own e...

Re: BMWs of the 20th Century

Hey Sab, I'm a bit confused by this event. Is it that p20th Century registered cars park on the field as a display and then everyone else is in the car park? I haven't planned to come along as my car is 2009 so on the face of it doesn't meet the age requirements.

Re: Please help Alpina D3

Hi morning, Which VIN number did you use on real OEM. Try using the BMW Vin which is the one crossed out on the strut tower or the one in the window. The MAF sensor would be std BMW unit. Or to make sure your getting the correct OEM part go to BMW often I find parts direct from them are not much mor...

Re: Latest Rumours- only B7 and XB7 from BMW?

I think also, after speaking to BMW Sales person, the problem is the % split of cars that must be sold as Hybrid EV at the moment. I think he said 22% of all cars sold now must be either hybrid or EV and the sales are just not there. For every Petrol or Diesel car sold over this carries a £15,000 pe...
