Seen a couple of times around Heathrow in the last week

I did exactly the same thing in May last year for the build sheet when I had mine as they'd been lost over time (I suspect by the dealer, wouldn't surprise me). Emailed Larissa, asked me to scan in a copy of the V5 which I did. Went to the bank to arrange for an international transfer, about a week ...

After nearly 2 years of ownership, the time came for me to part ways with the "beast" a few weeks ago, as much as I didn't want to leave the fray. Owing to a job change, she has now moved into semi-retirement with the old man, so is missed but not that far away and still in the family. I do and will...

Did we all get lazy then? I don't think we're all lazy, it's more a case of how busy the roads are everywhere, an auto cuts all the work out, and is more suitable more of the time. The auto/Switchtronic is great 95% of the time although ultimately it doesn't beat a stick and 3 pedals (which I do mi...

Welcome to the forum

Anyone spotted this one, been up a few days

Mine came on quite a few months ago, car still seemed to run fine, only noticed it when I glanced down at the dash. Put the code reader on and it was a fuel trim issue on bank 1 (P0171 if I remember correctly), so don't know whether it was just a freak thing that it dropped out of its parameters bri...

I had the same problem on my 328 (M52TU) a couple of years ago, out driving one night... no power, limp home mode, seemed to be misfiring. Left overnight, fired up again, drove away limp home mode straight away. Turned out to be a jammed throttle body, was stuck shut so hence pressing throttle starv...

Thanks for responses guys, just to update, all is well again :D I had a similar noise on my 328i Sport and it turned out to be a loose spark plug! :shock: This is exactly what it turned out to be thankfully. Upon getting the top cover off with the engine running it was very apparent where it was com...

Forgive me if this is in the wrong section and please move it if it is, but I want to put it where it will get the most attention/views.. A rather nasty knocking sound has developed quite quickly on my old man's V reg E46 328 (M52TU), went and had a listen tonight and took a video which I have uploa...

My B10 has the Buffalo leather, it was indeed an extra cost option but I don't know by how much (my order sheets from Alpina don't have the price of the options on, assuming as they are copies, but a guess would be £3-4K extra as that seems the be the ballpark for upgraded leather options). Compare...

That's pretty good going considering most people these days think a car has had it after 4 years or 80k on the clock.
Mileage round up of the club maybe? Mine is nearly at 92k.

Next target to see must be 300k, or maybe your return trip from the moon

That's the one that has been up at IMC for about 3 months or so, remember a discussion going on it's Marmite colour scheme..

Excellent! Anything interesting that you weren't expecting? I will have to do this too, I have the comprehensive read out from the .ru site but it's not the same as a letter from Alpina. Have to dig under the seat as well when I get home. I knew most of the bits, Buffalo leather/DSP/Climate comfort...
