Lovely pics Neil.

A question you may be able to answer - with the current trend for quilted leather, does this mean no more optional Alpina rhombs in the leather? Hence the Alpina embossed headrests etc?

I haven’t seen rhombs in the seat back for a while now. They seem to have migrated to the headrests from what I have seen.
I was abit disappointed my ex B10 as it had no rhombs or badges in the seat backs but sorted that out with my next Alpina as I made sure I had the full Alpina treatment second time around. :D

Agreed Phil - F3* generation on headrests. By F10 has them, so previous D5/B5 had them.
