I was the highest bidder before it ended. Needed about 6k worth of work even though it was maintained regardless

I viewed this car a couple of months ago, that comes as a surprise. What work did it need doing?

Hey Bob, No pics yet i'm afraid, been a bit busy with work/life and haven't had a chance to give the car a proper clean yet – which seemed appropriate before taking any pics. :D As for D3 ownership, i'm absolutely loving it! It's such a pleasure to drive, i've found myself looking forward to long di...

I like this one for LSD if nothing else!! Need Bob to chime in, but could it be #136? I haven't confirmed yet, but it looks like #055 to me. #136 is an LCI on a 2015/65-plate and doesn't have the red stitched Black Dakota leather ... so not that one. Shame it has poverty-Nav, but there are plenty o...

It’s looks like a lovely example which I’m sure you’ll enjoy putting the miles on it. Congratulations and welcome to the club.

Cheers!

Yes that's the one Marc, cheers

I actually called up to get details about this one and was sent the service history. It only has 3 BMW services in the iDrive - presumably to keep the warranty valid - the last one being at the start of February 2018 on 65554 miles. I enquired as to whether there where any records of services since ...

Cheers

I felt the same, it was a definitely a pleasant/unexpected surprise

Thanks Matt! What a difference a week makes, honestly thought i might have missed the boat on these price wise.

Great news, enjoy the Alpina life!

Cheers, i certainly will!

Thanks for the update. So, the big question, are you tempted? :D I never thought i'd be that tempted by a saloon - it felt like it would be more of a compromise as i'd always wanted a touring. But i really liked this car and could have happily owned it. For me, the only thing it was missing was the...

I went to see this last night and ended up spending about an hour chatting with Paul whilst looking over the car and taking it out for a drive. It's a stunning looking car in the Alpina blue in person and has been very well looked after. It also has the 3 zone climate control and electric folding/he...
