Very nice :)

I keep toying with the idea of taking the BT out on track, I'm really curious to see how she goes. I know a few mags have done it and say it stands up very well, would certainly be an interesting comparison to my usual track day toy.

Virtually an identical picture taken at the same time last year. Was great to meet another Alpina owner!

Was out there last year for the same weekend (DTM) and took the Cooper S for a play.
