Took out the e36 and went to Toyota to see my Daughters first car. She came along as she has her eyes in the B3 one day although her first car is lovely and she opted for the GR spec as performance automobiles is what she likes - Good girl! Got caught out with the rain but like all things ALPINA, th...

The front wishbones were the oem BMW wishbones used on the donor car that went onto Alpina to convert into the B3.

I only found the lollipop bushes to be Alpina.

Hope that helps.

Thanks both. So you may have noticed on the other post that I now have custodianship of this car and it seems to be in very good shape including the interior.

Hope this helps.

Thanks mate.

Yeah I like the Alpine unit - looks slick!

I received confirmation from TFL the car is ULEZ compliant.

Very happy man I am.

Paid for the certificate of emissions so can apply for a refund on the charges already paid and loving the fact that the car will be ULEZ exempt.

Bringing both would be ideal but my youngest isn’t ready to be insured on the e46 yet. Perhaps in 2025.

Paid the invoice for my emissions certificate and looking forward to owning a ULEZ compliant BMW ALPINA.

Trip to Maidenhead BMW and Barons BMW for this lot

I’ve booked a hotel nearby so see you there!

Hey Mate,

Just paid for all the service items and the gearbox service kit so I’ll be visiting some time soon to collect them.

Morning All, Thanks for the comments and it’s becoming a challenge to do the work on the car but it’s coming along. In the process of putting together a part invoice with BMW Maidenhead and the list of parts has started to grow. I thought I may as well replace the prop shaft donut as the gearbox is ...

Still available?

Both B3’s came together today.
