Went to the Collecting Cars meet at Donnington Park on Sunday, saw 2 other alpinas, a santorini blue B3S and the below G21 B3 which was lovely.

In that case, I stand corrected.

Washed the car and fitted the winter set - looks like the temperature is dropping this week with sleet forecast next weekend here in the middle of the country!

New boots today of PS4S flavour, no PS5 for the front available despite being in production.

Had a great chat with Polish CLS 63 owner who spotted my car.

Like how the white accentuates the exhausts protruding through the rear bumper, its hardly noticable on darker colours, they just look like they are under the bumper!
Shame about the PS5 situation so far, but that said PS4S are excellent.

Declared B3 OOH SORN

Just had the Subframe repair kit all welded in, but it is not getting the use
since I was given a Company Disco TD6.

I fear a tough decision to be made in the new year.

Winter wheel set fitted yesterday, just in the nick of time as we awoke this morning to quite a covering of the white stuff!

Took my B3 to Bird's in Iver following the advisory on the MOT that I needed new wishbones on the front. Almost £1k later and the car is driving well.

I spent a few hours working from Sytner Nottingham today whilst my D5 was in for it’s EGR cooler recall. I only contacted them two weeks ago so very impressed with response time. My local BMW dealer couldn’t fit me in until February.

They had a B3 saloon, D4S grand coupe (San Remo green - amazing colour) and a B8 in the showroom.

Gary was around and was happy to provide the original build sheet and full service print out for my car.

I knew the snow was forecast so made the effort to do it then. I didn’t have a low entry jack available so had to improvise!
