Re: Car S.O.S E30 ALPINA
"Sytner of Nottingham do have all the information". Not correct, they may have some information. Reason being back in the day the job card was a white cardboard sheet and hand written. These were kept in a cardboard box, over the years some people it is alleged were allowed to look through them as ...

Re: B10 V8: Converting to manual?
IMHO if you want a faster and Manual E39 buy an M5. You not only have the extra cost of a conversion, the very ethos of buying an Alpina V8 has been lost and perhaps on resale would limit the market. To me the whole point of a V8 Alpina is that it has an automatic box, with the switchtronic it is t...

Re: B10 V8: Converting to manual?
I am getting closer and closer to taking the plunge in converting my B10 V8 to manual. Having converted many BMW's from auto to manual including E39 540i's, E46 Alpina B3's, the B10 will be straight forward. It's just time for me at the moment. Its a shame Alpina never offered the B10 V8 or V8S as a...

Re: E46 B3S convertible #34
What's the story with this car please ? I bought it in 2009 at about 43k miles with the engine knocking due to being run low on oil. rebuilt the engine, drove it for the summer then sold it on. In the ensuing years it was written off with a large impact to the rear (the then owner posted pics on he...

Re: BMW TWR E28 (B9) 3.5 on Collecting Cars
£32750. A big drop from the near £100k that was initially asked for it or even the £50k it was last listed for as a classified ad.

Re: BMW TWR E28 (B9) 3.5 on Collecting Cars
Shame it lost its rear spoiler. I actually got this car up and running after it had been recovered into ML when I worked there. The didn't know the significance of the car until I educated them. I bit of a story to the car as well, apparently it ended up in a scrap yard where the owner of said yard ...
