Having been looking at buying other cars I have decided to keep my Touring as it is the best car I have ever owned.
it need a wee bit of bodywork as the rear arches are starting to bubble and a sheep scraped its horn down my drivers door so the plan is to have it off the road this winter to sort out those issues.
Being as I don't want to be with out an Alpina and always wanted a V8 I bought #540 today
Prefacelift B10 V8
150k miles
FSH and just had £3k spent on the timing chain issues commensurate with the V8 lump
Just had new discs and pads all round
Has a moon roof and extended leather so is stitched dash etc
Sport electric seats with 3 x memory
Harmon Kardon sounds
Oh and it has double glazing too
Car is not without its issues though as has EML light on after getting the timing chain issues sorted. Camshaft sensor bank 1 error
The sills are rotten to the core
The last owner jacked it up on the transport pad and it went through the sills but rather than scrap the car I felt it deserved some love and I will get 2 x new inner and outer sills done and also some paint on it too and it will do as my hack about car until I get #108 back up to par
Heater blows hot air constantly so something needs fixing there.
The pixels are gone on the dash
Plenty to do but worth saving the old girl in my humble opinion
It isn't on the register so if any kind person wants to rob these pics and put it on that it fine by me
I look forward to V8 ownership and the adventures it will bring
