Hi,
Thanks to everyone who took the time to post a reply about my car.
I really appreciate it.
I’m really pleased to say the car is going to another Alpina owner/enthusiast so it will stay within these circles.
Best wishes to all and I’ll try my luck with a less exclusive brand for now (C63 wagon), whilst I save for a G21 B3.

Let us know how you get on with the C63 wagon as that is an itch I am very keen to scratch

Well done on the sale!

I looked at the great photos in the detail link.

I emailed the detailers but no reply - to find out how they “lightly polished” the wheel hubs - looked really good. Anyone have an idea how to achieve this?

Mike,

When I did mine, I used a Halfords sanding sponge and then followed up with some Belgom Alu polish. Worked brilliantly.

The sanding sponge I used was the same as the above, but had brown faces. Not sure if that means it's finer or coarser.

Attached are a couple of after pics

Hi All,

As much as it pains me to do this, I'm considering selling #79 as my F30 still hasn't sold and I can't keep both for ever. If you're genuinely interested, drop me a pm. My F30 goes to a friends place on SOR next Wednesday, so would need to have an agreement in principle in place before then to save him collecting the F30. This is a head over heart decision and I'll probably slap some sense in to myself before too long!
