I can’t see it on the Bramley website.

I thought @JCC’s car was up for sale with Evolution Performance in Cheshire?
Check Bramley's socials, it was posted for sale on an IG post on Monday. I believe Evolution sold it to the owner of Bramley, who's been using as his own car since.

Re: G30 B5 with mixed tyres

I put a deposit down on this car in Dec 2022 when it was being sold by Sytner Nottingham. The previous owner fitted a set of Michelins to the car, but as part of the AUC prep 2 new rear tyres were fitted, and Sytner fitted the factory spec Pirellis, hence the car having a mis-match front and rear. I...

Re: Pirelli P-Zero v Michelin p4s

I know of one B5 owner who made the switch and I believe he's very happy. Perhaps he'll pick up the thread and give some informed commentary. Me! Very happy - different league of wet/cold weather performance. Minimal impact on ride quality. Excellent longevity. Switch to Mich PS4S highly recommended.

Re: M359 Garage has E39 B10 V8S Touring

So many parallels with No. 60 Simon!

Looking forward to seeing what he does with this one, especially with a colour change and interior retrim on the card from ALPINA's saddlery 8)

Re: Help - Selling my Alpina D5

They said its much discussed because apparently ZF say the box is sealed for life, but Alpina list it as a servicable item in their service schedules. When I researched this a few years ago I found the opposite - ZF as the manufacturer state changing the oil and filter at 100k kms (60k miles). Whil...

Re: B5 touring

From what Alex told me, it was the factory car at buchloe so If any new tech came out it was tested on the factory car and left on, suspect that it is also fully loaded as every option I would tick is there. For example I have the full lcd display from the newer model and not the dial set up as it ...

Luckily mine is a development car so I have the full lcd display from the newer models as I think those dials can date the car quickly.
Could you explain what you mean about your B5 being a development car?
