Hi all morning, Oh what a week its been, sent the car in (D3 Biturbo) for the timing chain to be done. No symptoms to speak of other than the car is 15 years old and has done 174,000 miles. So for peace of mind for a few road trips coming up this year. Swift Performance in Aylesbury were tasked with...

Hey - fingers crossed we can find the car.

I've shared with as many people as I can and its all over Instagram. Keeping everything crossed.

B2.5 - in green with cloth - such a classic spec. Cloth is so much more the drivers choice. I'd love to see more cars come with great cloth seats.

Hi all, Anyone reading this that I have not message separately and have a Display Ticket for Sunday 28th Please aim to arrive between 07:30 and 9am but my advice would be to arrive as early as you can. Last 2 events have been really busy with over 1100 cars arriving in a short window. So traffic wil...

Dropped mine off at Swift Performance this morning. TIMING CHAIN time. Having now covered 174,000 miles and it last being done at 80,000 its about time.

The white B8 I am told that the offered to reduce it by 15K. I think it was 155K and now offered at 140K. Not bad if you have some loose change.

Its a bit Marmite the White B8, White, black decals, red leather. Awesome car difficult to look at (for me anyway)

Even better..................

Hey Norman,

Yeh I don't want the hassle to be honest. If they are going to make it difficult I'd rather leave it.

That's brilliant, being a 1 owner car is something special but with that mileage as well. I've done 50,000 in mine in the 6 years I've owned it and still enjoy every miles so doing 385K is a bit special.

B3 BMW is a cool plate.

I can see why they would sell B3 and B10 as Alpina specific but the M3 EST (M3 Estate) you'd think would be used for Demo M3 Touring's.

Is it or Isn't it - that is the question??

Also comes down to conditions on the day, if its a little warm or a bright day I'd just wash the car first to keep the car wet while the Snow Foam works Generally though I would clean the wheels first before touching the car, that way when I start to clean the paint that's my focus and I don't risk ...
