New Member - just bought D5 Biturbo Touring
Hi - just joined! Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place but I can't see a "New Members" section!
Anyway, just bought a 2012 D5 Biturbo Touring with just 44K miles. First impressions are excellent!
Any other Alpina users in or near Swansea?

Beautiful. Really like the colour and the Alpina badges

Im a big Porsche fan, had a 997S and 993S...I like to think Im currently between Porsches.

Seeing the comment above about badges, the only issue with the car I've just bought was the wheel badges. I think the previous owner may have used cheap car washes with sprayed on acid. I've done a quick fix using cheap ebay badges, and I've ordered originals which I'll fit when they arrive! I'll post the page with part numbers, but here's the "quick fix" for less than a tenner!!

For future reference, replacement badges from Pukar Designs are £30 for a set of four and are excellent quality
