Re: E39 B10 V8 #440 [ALPINA Green]

good to see an honest ad, any idea on what he's asking for it? I've seen a few poor e39's but the line saying he wouldn't raise it on a lift is alarming!!. I wonder where else its gone. He has now posted a proper ad and put a figure of £5,250 on it, but to be honest I get the impression his priorit...

Re: #131 B10 VSS for sale 17.5k

Seems the ad's been pulled/ended. Has the seller added LED strip lights next to the fogs? And the front centre armrest looks like it's from an E38? The M logo on the steering wheel looks a bit silly IMO. The full leather upper (black) and lower dash/doors is rare though, only ever seen that on US E3...

Re: Lovely B5 biturbo alpina blue

Hi

Unfortunately I've been too busy at the moment to justify a 400 mile round trip to view in the current environment. Looked lovely though!

Re: Lovely B5 biturbo alpina blue

Seller is relisting on eBay - doesn't seem to be hitting reserve and not making more than low 20s each time. Price reduced on Pistonheads too to 26.5k. How big of an issue is not being services for 5 years? Or rather, 18k miles without a service?

Thanks skyetripper - just out of curiosity why did you move from your immaculate 3.3 - I also know what you mean about oil, is that a 6 cylinder 'quirk' or something that affects these engines with age? I think those maintenance costs are more than fair considering it would take me a few years to ra...

Thanks everyone, I've already narrowed one requirement - one of the main attractions of the Alpina route (over M) was the Switchtronic box (manual is a no go in this particular instance). I think the biggest fear of going the 4.6 route would be the fuel bills, however, there's more choice of V8 at t...

B10 3.3/4.6 advice

Hi all, As a long term vanilla E39 enthusiast, I've started looking into Alpina B10s as a potential replacement for the family 520 workorse. My logic being that the E39 is (IMO!) the best version of the 5 series that is the ideal blend of size, comfort, practicality, luxury and build quality. And th...

Sorry for the bump of an old thread, but this car has cropped up at a dealer in Huddersfield without a website it seems. I was wondering if anyone knows a little more of its history since it changed hands in Summer 2014 from its Scottish forum poster roots? MOT history suggests it has done perhaps 1...
