Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?

Actually drove it!!!

I really don't use it enough, a crime really as covering miles is it's absolute forte.

Re: Help - my renewal quote doubled !!

This is true of everyone I speak to now with all cars, from Audi A6’s to Minis, friends and people at work saying their renewals have nearly or more than doubled. Insurers blaming it on cost of repairs, both parts and labour. Which while true the hikes they are imposing are a joke and it’s industry ...

Re: Winter tyres

I've been told that one reason for lack of supply here is that the UK is a very small market for Winters generally. I suspect that the percentage of UK Alpina drivers who fit Winters is far higher than the percentage of all UK motorists who do. This. I work for one of the aforementioned tyre manufa...

Re: Good local garages in Nottingham

CJ Mechanical.

Known through a few cars now from my B5 RS4.

Know their stuff and I trust completely.

Taken my E91 and now F31 D3 to them. Plenty of M cars go through and a few Alpinas I know of.

Re: Looking for an E91 D3

I honestly think a 100k mile BT touring in good condition with a good history you’ll be doing well at 10k. I bought and sold my E91 in the £6-7k range, and that was 145k miles when I bought it, nearer the 160k when I sold. Loved it. Spurred me on to stick with the brand and get an F31 D3. I would sa...

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?

Dropped off today for a new oil level sensor. Keeps telling me now and again to “top up with 1 litre of oil at the earliest opportunity”, however, as doing what I’m told isn’t in my nature :lol: … running the onboard level check and also checking the dipstick it’s spot on. Worries me that some would...

F31 D3 2017 45k miles

This is an absolute bargain for someone... hugely mispriced in my opinion and likely will be bought and re advertised quickly 5k+ higher. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134631304402?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=EuNfrhvrSPi&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=wVGSda28R0K&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY H...
