What did you do in your ALPINA today?

[Yad3100]

Donnington Park today:
Starkys and Wheatcroft are the B5s territory, that engine has the gift of torque and it unwaveringly keeps on giving it by the shed load.
Spot on Adam, 5th worked, shame about the wet when I went out. (Wiggle, Wiggle, Ooops oversteering again ).

Sounds like you have got the bug.

We are now booked on for Anglesey on the 12th, Lisa says that since it’s a Sunday they are trying to offer a small show area for other bmw owners. @Marc76 will need to be convinced to take the D5 for a run out.

Early trip to Shrewsbury this morning to pick up more parts for the Dirty 30. Lots of space so didn’t heed to fold seats down. Evo 3 build is going to be epic, more gears should prevent limited top speed.

Still not seen another Alpina since I bought mine, must be rare up north!

Ah, that was the reason for Shrewsbury!
Bentley straight at Snetterton should be more comfortable not banging off the limiter for half of it haha!

I'm the same- approx 4k miles since buying mine and apart from yours i've seen only one other, and it was parked.

Took the fronts off for cleaning and to wash out the arches.
Extremely disappointed to discover CS17s are made in Taiwan.
I’d been led to believe they were specially crafted by flaxen haired Bavarian maidens.

http://superalloyengineering.com/products/wheels/ ... perhaps the maidens do a stint in Taiwan every now and then. I wonder where the non-forged wheels (e.g. Dynamics) are made?

Nice job

Turns out it had previously had a poorly constructed repair, hence my small nudge in the lakes last year opened up the old damage.

Also found out this part of the front end is made of recycled plastics and does not plastic heat weld, the actual bumper above is not recycled so can be welded.

Very pleased for £200

Very useful info Frosty!

You'd have assumed the same material wouldnt you...

Nearly 600 miles into a trip - Entered limp mode. Serious transmission vibration and misfire.

Not good..... Hope it's nothing too serious but it doesn't sound great. Are you able to get it in anywhere to be checked out?
