Not read this magazine before. Some single make publications come across as a bit of a love in. This one even states it's independence. Anyway, good article on D5 and a pretty honest buying guide for the D3.

Other articles, 3 series from E21-F30 and a fantastic CSL (E9), new M3

Anyone read this magazine long term, is it any good?

We dip in on-and-off, yes. Bit pricey, though, these days to be a regular subscriber. Been looking around for the one you've just read with no success locally.....

I've finished with my copy if anyone wants it, though the toddler has also read it as it has 'dadas car in it'

Â£4.50 for a magazine is shocking though.

So it's not just me that still reads 'paper' mag's then? It's a big ask at Â£4.50 so will just browse for future Alpina articles.

Been a subscriber to EVO from the start, but that's the only one. Could easily spend 15 quid a month on magazines but just too much money.

As said above Ade can get a copy for you if required.

I'm puzzled, now. I'm sure I just flicked through the 'current' BMWCar mag in the newsagent and it had an E9CSL article...my eyes must have deceived me - need to look again, now

The D3 buying guide wasn't in it, though

nor the D5 article.

The one I have is Bmwcar dated May 2012.

It has the D5 review, d3 buyers guide and updated E9 csl.

I will re-flick tomorrow

Yup more flicking needed, D5 page 24 D3 page 94, and a very nice E21 323i on page 50 (minus the tints imho).

Slow day at work so have had chance to read..................a few times.........
