Just another thought on the pre facelift models,is the three spoke steering wheel a straight swap for the four spoke or is there more to it than that :?:

Firstly,sorry i spelt your name wrong,you can blame an old irish school mate for that :lol:
just in case i don't receive a reply from them don't forget to ask about the head gaskets as i don't fancy paying 11k for it + another 2k when they blow :shock:

Hi Niel,
That would be very helpful thank's for that.
You don't say where you are but i'm in Lincolnshire so it's a bit of a hike if the car ends up being a pup.
As i said in a previous post, i already contacted them about a deal so they may just ignore me now.

I already asked the haggle question several weeks ago but they wouldn't budge but as you say if the cars legit and the h/g's renewed (if pre 14500 engine) which going by the age i would say it was a pre engine.
I have already emailed them for an answer on that so see what they say :wink:

Hi,
Do you think £11'000 is over the top for a 1999 one owner with full bmwsh and 80'000 on the clock?.

Hi, Yeah you can tell by the pics (or lack of) which ones are suspect but as regards the B10,there's one on ebay and also in auto trader that on the surface looks OK but i was really after a newer model as this one is a 1999 model :? but it seems to have some of the facelift features :? ebay item no...

B3 v B10

Hi Mark, Thank's for the input.Investment wasn't exactly the right word to use,all i meant by that was,with the B10 being a rarer car then i would expect it to at least hold it's re-sale value better than a model that is much more common. I used to own an M635 (M6) with the M1 engine fitted & that w...

torn between B3s convertable or B10 v8

I'm torn between buying a B3s convertable or a B10 V8. The B3 is low mileage on an 03 plate & the B10 V8 is 1999 but with full main dealer history & one owner. My question is,which one would be the best investment & are there any issues with the Alpina v8 that i should know about :lol: Thank's in ad...

alpina build chart

Thank's for the reply.On the same subject,if i'm reading the chart correctly and it's accurate that means that there was only ever one B10 v8s registered on an 03 plate. That obviously would make it a one off and it's up for sale at the moment so that would explain the hefty price tag of £17'995. :...

B3s convertable

Hello everyone,
This is my first posting so hope it's in the correct place. :shock:
Does anyone know how many B3s convertables were made for the UK market.
Thank's in advance,
