Hey Chris, What's the location of the show like for Fuel etc. Looking at the distance, 373m from home I'm likely to need a small top up one we are at the show for the trip home. Is there something close to the show ? Hi mate, IIRC there are a couple relatively close, one @ 5km from the raceway, the...

That makes me feel better getting 20/21 mpg from my B8

Excellent cheers Norman

Although the temperatures may not drop below 7C, in Luxembourg (and I think Germany too) the official time to change-over is end Oct/beginning Nov.

The phrase I was told was ''Oktober bis Ostern'' - October til Easter in English

On a side-note, Kumho tyres are actually good tyres, but are normally more associated with 'hot' hatches, they are standard on the new VW Polo and they were standard fitment for some Minis, but actually also some 3 series http://www.tirebusiness.com/article/20141210/NEWS/141219992/kumho-gains-bmw-oe...

Welcome, nice

They have stopped doing factory tours because there is so much secret R&D stuff going on from both Alpina and BMW

I'm not sure though if maybe you can see the wine cellars still

But can you call a car rare just because in RHD there were a minority, if overall throughout the world there were 100's/1000's produced?

In my opinion not, you have to take the whole Series as it was produced.

Both, but probabbly not at the same time! That was not me, mines Mineral Grey with Saddle Brown leather. Hope you enjoyed your stay here though. Theres only 2 other Alpina's that are permanant residents here as far I know. Yeah it was wonderful thxvm, except I was in family E53 not the B8 :( We sta...

My workshop has the BMW dealer walnut blasting equipment and have done plenty.

Which workshop are you at, how long does it take and how much do you charge pls?

Its going to be a toss up between trying to get over 40mpg or trying to hit the 170+ top speed if conditions allow on the A3 (not the one in England, obviously). You should be able to achieve both in a D3 :D :D Are you the Blue one I saw travelling between Calbourne and Shalcombe about 2 weeks ago ...
