For me the best value for money would be to change the final gear ratio for a lower top end. You could have a 175 mph top speed and condense the power through the gears...massive bang for buck mod. ? The Morgan is longer geared than the B5S - I'd like their diffs swapped over giving the Alpina lowe...

I WAS going to buy a 2013 M5 but realised it was far more than I needed (I never used the B3 to its full potential) so have settled on a new X1. Sounds a bit like female logic - did your better half influence your decision?? :lol: Did you not consider this - http://www.alpinaconfigurator.co.uk/mode...

And do not confuse value with liquidity. Chances are that the rare premium spec cars (B6S with a good colour combinations and full lavalina) will be worth good money - the question is whether a buyer can be found willing to pay what is should be worth. Is it worth buying an Alpina to make money? Nop...

The X3 passed its MOT (MFK in Switzerland) with 2 broken springs :shock: I had them replaced yesterday - transformed the car. It handles and (more importantly) massively better. It fact it can get hurled up the local hill and quite a lick - rather good run just flooring it out of the hairpins - not ...

Given all the charger issues relating to 'a clean oil supply' I would probably have the oil and filter changed once a year regardless of km. Just to be on the safe side. It hasn't too date - and the charger was given the all clear in October - with nice clean pipes. Ultimately the warranty was boug...

Looking pretty damn good Sir 8) Although not sure about the small trunk badge! You are shouting ALPINA on the front and sides. So why not the trunk as well :D The stripes pack included 2 * Large ALPINA (front air-dam spacing); 2 * Large ALPINA (normal spacing); 4 * Small ALPINA The spare large ALPI...
