That's Metrics' (Asim's) D5. Haven't seen him online for a while, hope all is ok.

Nice little Alpina display!
Liking the flaps on the F11 - anyone know if these are simply a BMW accessory and still available?

Would be standard BMW parts I’d assume. It’s Paul’s B5, maybe he can confirm though.

I was going to post a photo but this has saved me the effort!

Had a great catch up with Asim down a C&M - was their monthly German night and we were blessed with fantastic weather - it was perfect. Some great cars and interesting characters too - we chatted to a few fellow Alpina fans, one guy had a real collection of his own going on.

Asim's good - I think he's just been super busy of late and not had much time for the forum. Must admit, I've not been as regular on here as I usually am.

As for the mudflaps, yes they are standard factory fit BMW items I believe. Not everyone is a fan, but I think they really suit the car and any help preventing stone chips etc is welcome.
