Re: B5 Tourings #997 and #1007

They seem to both have pano roofs (according to the Auto Trader adverts) but neither appear to have a heated steering wheel. I used to think such things were unnecessary but I wouldn’t be without mine. Prices have gone a bit bonkers since I bought mine. I’d want full Lavalina at that price…

Re: G31 B5 values

Personally, I believe that B5 values, Touring versions in particular, will remain relatively strong for some time. Apart from being a fabulous car they are quite rare (unlike an M5 or its Audi and MB competitors). On top of this, it is no longer possible to configure a new ‘standard’ B5. I expect BM...

G31 B5 values

No pictures yet but this seems quite a ‘robust’ price for a 2018 model (#263) https://jzmporsche.com/cars/bmw-alpina-b5-p0470/ It will be interesting to see if it sells for this. Top555 sold a similar vehicle (#552) for £91k recently (it sold quickly so presumably sold for its asking price or as nea...

B10 (?) Maidstone

My nephew kindly snapped this beauty for me in Maidstone - does it belong to anyone we know? Looks a stunner!

Re: G31 B5 on Instagram

I could be wrong, but don’t the LCI models come without the ‘biturbo’ badge?

Re: B5 Limp mode

I think what has happened to mine might be more to do with the cars history than a defect as such. BMW/Alpina have thus far been brilliant in their response. Interesting, John - can you expand on that? Lots of short journeys maybe? It’s reassuring to know, I guess, given that my car is actually not...
