Re: Reset trip odometer and engine light came on

That’s your first mistake. Last time my car went to a Synter garage they fitted the wrong oil filter even after I asked them to double check?🤦‍♂️
You have to double check all parts fitted unfortunately be it at at dealer or indie.
All part of the Alpina ownership fun!

Re: Selling my E39 B10 V8S

I would consider Zion as as private trader on his record. He bought my old V8s and sold it in quick order and others also from what I saw!

Re: Reset trip odometer and engine light came on

I suggest you just get the fault code(S) read and go from there. Maybe nothing, maybe something. But without having the codes read you are flying blind.

Re: Caffeine & Machine 18th August 2021

Had a great time meeting old and new faces and cars tonight. Missed a few late arrivals in these pics unfortunately. Look forward to doing it again soon.

Re: Caffeine & Machine 18th August 2021

Maybe park in that line and spread out with wide spacing to deter others until the rest turn up. I know it can get busy but that top line of grass is not exactly prime spot territory so hopefully easy to deter others. Maybe just ask politely other drivers to find a different parking spot also if the...

Is everyone heading to the back line of the grassed area of the car park?

Re: Caffeine & Machine 18th August 2021

I left around 7:30 as there wasn’t much variety of cars to look at (unless you like Porsches). Got a ticket for next week now. Maybe tempting fate but hopefully should be able to make it.

Re: Caffeine & Machine 18th August 2021

Popped in there tonight, there was a Porsche GB meet happening. Hundreds of the damn things. Thought I would add some class.😀
I know they are very capable sports cars but they all sound like a bag of spammers to me!

Re: Maserati Gransport content

A local guy who took pics of my B6 took some of the Maserati. His camera beats my potato phone for pics… 7EB6E1E4-E604-4759-B276-9AAD0D55F6FE.jpeg B80A69AB-ED95-4A4D-92BF-BA0E22D7D091.jpeg 63A5B926-7623-4999-89B3-CC75CD583FDA.jpeg 013B8544-2F4D-4050-9E26-6138C9ADF45D.jpeg 5931C1C0-7413-44A3-8A04-1C1...

Worse things happen at sea as they say but annoying none the less. Hope you get it sorted, have another JD and relax. It is Friday night after all. :dance

Re: Nice little addition to the B3s side decal

I would look for an independent smart repair guy, probably been doing it years and went solo. If you go for a franchise the guy might of just had a bit a training and your his first paying job ! If you go the respray route I would go for the whole side but below the swage line to help hide the diffe...

Re: Nice little addition to the B3s side decal

If you can find a good smart repair guy locally that is the way I would go. Light metallics are virtually impossible to match even with blowing in on near panels. The problem is the metal flake is never payed down in the same way as the original paint so in different light and angles the difference ...

Re: Nice little addition to the B3s side decal

Some sad people around unfortunately, hope it’s not too difficult to fix. My first port of call would be a smart repair as silver is very difficult to colour match if whole painting panels.

Re: E60 B5 S #482

It would be a big step up in performance and refinement. Best way would be to drive it over to Germany yourself. If it’s to be kept in Germany would a LHD not be more suitable?
