I have one of the F11's with a factory towbar. Before I got this car I was looking at a B5 F11 that didn't have either towbar or roof rails, either I was looking for for mounting bikes etc. The roof bars as a retrofit were hugely expensive and the towbar, as you can see is available with aftermarket...

Congrats on the purchase, looking forward to seeing the pics after you collect from the detailers!

Post something up when you are next visiting, I am in Wivenhoe and my brother also with a F31 D3 has his outlaws in Felixstowe too. Would be good to have 4 cars meet!

What was the itch?

I'd not head of Buttertubs but it looks lovely, whenever I think of interesting passes up north Hardknott and Wrynose spring to mind - I've been over them on my bike and in the B10 :) Yeah we go each year in Oct half term to the lakes and usually do both, they are stunning. Have also done ridden wa...

Congratulations, that is a sharp looking D3s.

That is looking great, anymore pics and details of how your restoration went?

I was approaching to turn into and saw a familiar 4 tailpipes on a grey Alpina, non-touring pulling away down towards Leek.

Sorry didn't get a good enough look to even tell the series!
