Re: G21/G20 D3S Servicing Costs

I'd recommend you to find a BMW specialist in your area. Sytner and BMW dealerships have no clue about Alpinas… That’s my experience…. I might as well have asked for a Plutonium Change in my Delorean Time Machine for all the help it’s been so far! I’ve used quality specialists for previous cars (Go...

G21/G20 D3S Servicing Costs

I’m finding real difficulty getting a price out of the Sytner call centre for my 2023 D3s’ first service and I’d be really grateful for some help. Three calls and an email in and still no joy with an idea of how much it will cost! It’s just the engine oil service and - as much as I love my car - it ...

Re: Tyre pressures

Were any OTA Update release notes published that advertised the pressure recommendation changes prior to upgrading the software? I’m not suggesting I’d have skipped the update - just that it would have been nice to have been forewarned about this “enhancement.” I seem to remember reading something a...

Re: 2021 B3 Touring

Thanks, I absolutely love it so far. I’ve no doubt it’s the right car for me, as awesome as a B3 is. As for the Alexander’s B3, it’s been there for an age now, maybe as long as 5 or 6 months? Initially it was advertised just below £70k but they dropped it £5k in early Dec just before I picked up the...

Re: 2021 B3 Touring

Here’s the “new” D3S on collection day with the fondly remembered V60PE in the background. I know green is everyone’s first choice (it was mine) and grey isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (it is mine!) but I’m over the moon with it after 300 miles. I can’t imagine how much more performance a B3 has but th...

Re: 2021 B3 Touring

Thanks for the advice Sal. I was undecided about that car - it was the right colour and seemed a decent spec, but I’ve since found a D3s that is probably a better match for my real world driving requirements. I put a deposit down yesterday and have just arranged to pick it up on Friday. My V60 has b...

2021 B3 Touring

Hello from a new member! I’m not yet a Alpina owner but have been looking at the brand to replace my Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered. As a long standing owner of fast estates, Volvo’s recent announcement to discontinue estate sales in the UK has left me looking for something else comfortable and fast ...
