Re: Rav's 1999 B3 3.3 Saloon - Yes I bought it!!
Hi.
Yes that's right. I bought it from an old chap in Durham and drove it home. It had plain mats in it when I bought it, which I was a bit gutted about but got some money knocked off. When I got home I lifted up the boot matt and there was a full set of original Alpina mats laid out underneath. Result!
I had to sell it as my wife didn't like it. Oddly I have a bmw 323ci sport auto now same year and almost same colour which she really likes. Odd things aren't they!

Passed a mileage milestone today going through Hungerford on the way to Didcot.
Still not a scratch on Charles's B3 3.4 - but a milestone for me. I seem to recall that I bought the car with around 70k - 80k miles on, so have done a few in the years i have owned her. She was never planned to be my daily car, but is and i love to drive her.

I have been using the B3 as my daily for a while and love the car. Its still brings a smile to my face on almost every drive and i always turn back to admire the car when leaving her in a car park. My kids have also picked up a phrase i often say - "God you have to love an Alpina" usually enthusiastically shouted after a Switchtronic double kick down over take!
I was driving the neighbour to tesco today and i noted something that I had not seen before. The black on/off button caught my attention in my rear view mirror.
How cool are these? Are they BMW normal stock? They seem really special to me, but i like socks for Xmas!!
