Re: Sytner Nottingham ALPINA Meet Sunday 24th April 22

Here are a few videos of the day. By the sound of it not so many will be allowed this time but will be great I’m sure. It was held to the right side of the main showroom so their main entrance route wasn’t affected. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Y8H52UW79ZY&feature=share https://youtu.be/rVs2mTbS05E h...

The last Sytner meet had over 100 cars if I remember right. A good day out. Be good to go again.

Re: Alpina interior in modern cars

One of the reasons I moved my old B10 V8s on was actually because the interior wasn’t very ‘Alpina’d’. I like these extra touches too and help lift the interior to a more special place to enjoy.

Re: Alpina interior in modern cars

I think the extra rhombs etc you are talking about were phased out when the F models came. My B6s is a 2008 car and has the full traditional Alpina rhombs on the seats, steering wheel and armrests but are black rather than blue/green but this is just because the original purchaser specced this colou...

Re: E65 B7 Production Number by VIN?

This is the info you need for the certificate of delivery. Not cheap but nice to have. I would make sure this available for US first though.

Sparkle silver on wheels is a powder coating not a paint.

Guessing that’s down to Brexit! Glad I renewed all my suspension before hand using them.

Re: Alpina B3.5 on Facebook

Only white one in the archive is #025 by the look of it. Maybe this one?? 7A15A044-A363-4CED-B11B-837E276439F4.png Interestingly, the way Kees curates the Archive, that car you've linked should be a Buchloe built car with two VINs rather than a Sytner build which should then feature under the "Dist...

Re: '55 plate E60 B5

Hmm. Still rueing the day I let Steve Bone's B5S slip through my fingers. Any news of it? Funnily enough I was speaking to the owner of Steve's old B5S today, his premises are just round the corner from me.

Personally I would prefer invoices stating parts fitted and other works carried out than stamps in a book that can be easily faked.
Stamps in a book don’t tell you what works have been carried out so hold little value to me.
