Once goodbye, twice goodbye, three times goodbye
Chaps and Chapesses Well, mixed news from me. Goodbye number one - I've sold my half of the B8. I shall miss it, a fabulous car, possibly amongst the best three cars I've had. Certainly the most fun. Goodbye number two - I've sold my half of the B10 BT. I shall also miss that one, such a fast fast c...

There's some very amusing comments on there! And some downright silly ones. "BiTurbo sounds lame" was my favourite! The racing heritage of Alpina is one of which to be proud, it's up there with Maserati, Alfa, Ferrari, BMW Motorsport. Someone should then point out the heritage of Alpina Blue and Alp...

This is a first - having something with which to disagree with Dunk about... No way is the E46 the same size internally as the E39. I couldn't even move around two nippers with buggy and stuff in the E46 (which led me to sell one of only three cars I never wish I'd parted with, my beautiful B3 3.3 i...

The answer Thomas, a little late of course: paddle shift nowhere near as good as the switchtronic in the Alpina. I prefer the engagement and solidity of the response to pressing the Alpina buttons as opposed to pulling the paddles. The paddles are not bad, just that the Alpina setup which I've now d...

.... a lovely silver with red leather B3 BiTurbo
The bad news - the X5 back in the garage for another niggle (driver's door window and mirror switches given up). The good news - they've lent me their demonstrator B3 BiTurbo for the day. What a hoot! Reminds me a lot of my E46 B3 3.3. A shade quicker. Just as supple and smooth though, much more lov...

Glad you have all found this post of such interest and that Charles somehow managed to cross relate to his cellar of wine, now that does interest me. Yes Charles, have you started on your 1995s yet? How about the 2000s? I hope that you're not wasting all that fabulous space just with Chablis and ot...

Now that Mrs Lovibond has finally taken to driving the Alpina, and with the other seats taken up with his vast brood of kids, our beloved Mr Lovibond has a great idea for keeping up on family trips. "See, he joyfully points out, it even has Alpina stripes, of a sort..." and follows it up with "And t...

In response to Ged being asked about this post by a customer here is his response. Hi Neil, To help clear up any confusion, I would like to confirm the current turnaround time for registering ALPINA vehicles. The DVLA take a maximum of 5 working days to process the registration of any of ALPINA mod...
