Re: It’s no Alpina but I like it.

Lovely cars - congrats. And the S6 is very Alpina - a stealthy, under the radar wagon with a V8. Most will think it's another S Line A6, which is perfect. Will be interesting to hear your reflections on it with time.

Re: B5 G30 332 pics.

Lovely car. Azurite is a lovely shade - a bit like Carbon black with a rich blue tint to it in bright sun. And love the plate!
Enjoy!

Re: ZF8 Fluid Changed

Interesting write up John. Trouble is it's pretty much impossible to know if the analysis that's come back is normal or not. The only way would be know what it's looked like at say 20k miles, then 40k miles and then 60k miles. But there's also a risk of overthinking about these things. Enjoy the car...

Re: What did you do in your ALPINA today?

Congrats Matt! Looks mighty fine with silver wheels and deco. Chrome grilles, or leaving the shadowline version?

How does it compare with your previous F31 D3 & B3?

Hope you're enjoying it.

My insurance also went up this year, but after shopping around the renewal was actually the best option.

Re: G21 B3 Pirelli ALP Tyres

Good evening all. I have just managed to get a G31 B5 Touring and it is on Pirellis. Unfortunately picked up a puncture in a sidewall so will take the opportunity to change to PS4S's.
