Nice work. The parts needed are certainly not Alpina specific, so you should be able to find them readily. Don't forget that these were also available in Germany and France, so parts might be cheap there. However, collecting/ shipping them might be an issue. Spain will also have good rot free parts....

More than i bought my car for, but B3 BMW would have been nice to have back on my car....

I'm not sure about the S model - but i bought complete suspension for my B3 from https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwtqmwBhBVEiwAL-WAYcp6j0TihMkzjwLdF-vNFcQ8IejUrHMS34nr7JDk3U-_M5gHbWQyDBoCRPMQAvD_BwE . It was not mad money - ok not cheap. That was just before brexit, so pr...

Ok, so i went out to investigate between meetings and rain showers. It seemed odd that the gearbox issue would cause the power off/on of the car. This is more likely to be connected to the battery replacement of the car in the recent weeks. I assumed that this issue might be a loose battery terminal...

A bit of an odd one. I have an e46 B3 3.3 (#032) which i use as my daily driver. Today, she let me down twice and I am worried. Accelerating to get onto the M4 the car in the left lane of the slip road decided to cut straight across me. I let go of the throttle and the car acted very odd. All power ...

Visited Bird's in Iver today. Complete brake overhaul and new diff fluid.

She drove a lot better on the way home, need to get the new tyres on next and attend to a couple of points Kos and the gang at Bird's found.

Anyone know this car? F10 Black on Black D5 Bi Turbo #117 on Collecting cars. Looks a decent price and low miles. I am sure that the price will go up by at least double.....But at the moment, i can bid.... https://collectingcars.imgix.net/059729/AT-93.jpg?w=1263&fit=fillmax&crop=edges&auto=format,co...

Stunning car(s). You are a lucky chap piloting those two around...

Lovely car. Yes, it does seem odd to have mismatched tyres especially on a car as special as this. I suspect that the owner or garage just put what they could find on it. Barter them down a couple of hundred and factor in a fresh set of Michelin Pilot 4 or 5. Let us know how you get on. Just to add ...

Following my post a few weeks ago about hitting a pot hole on the M25, the wheel is now repaired and will be collected soon. I decided that whilst she was off the road, i would attack the issue of headlights having condensation within the unit. I ordered the rubber seals from BMW themselves and they...

Congratulations Charles - That is a really impressive achievement. I wonder how many hours you have spent in that driving seat?

Thanks all. Camskill have told me that PS4s are no longer available and have suggested PS5 is the new replacement.

Does anyone have any experience of comparison between the two?

MOT passed at the end of last year, the only advisories were the tyres and also the brakes. Can anyone suggest where to buy the tyres and brakes from? I am keen to have the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 - although 5 is the latest model. Black Circles dont have the rears in stock.. I also need discs and pad...

I like this!! Thank you - this will be a good project for the new year.

Gaskets ordered - £35 for the pair.

Headlight lenses are no longer available from BMW. Any ideas where I can find these - where do you guys/gals buy your parts?
