Thanks for the reply, I know there aren't many in the UK. How many B5s with the H1 motor are there out there? We didn't get it here in the US, only the B7 and only 803 were brought into north america for 2007-08.

There are 726 supercharged 5s.

547 with H1 and 179 with H1/2.

Superb colour

Were there any photos of this meet ?

Yes...they're on my insta @thatgreenb5

I also put some on the BMW Alpina Owners Group facebook page.

Ah i'm sorry to hear about Dad. Sounds like he wouldve been right in there mate.

But yes i agree the answer is to get inside and identify the problem. Could be bad solder joint...could be moisture..could be corrrosion.

Its going to have to be a fix because replacement of parts is a non-starter!

Sorry to say it Mark but i think youre going to struggle. As they discontinued the parts in 2009, i can see people were asking this question on forums in 2011, 2012 etc. I think its going to be hard seeing as the parts have all been hoovered up over the last 10 years. I had a big look for you last n...

Was great to catch up with those that came. Good turnout too.

Spot of lunch afterwards with a couple of the guys

Didnt see a drop of rain until i was home on my sofa 3 hours later!

That's great detail - thanks Chris.

Apologies for delay - didn't get a note that you'd posted. Cant find where to switch notifications on.

May come back to you if I get stuck as you seem very knowledgeable.

Cheers
Nick

No worries...I've had mine for a while so I've seen a bit of maintenance.

James,

I will ask the Car Club if we can all park together.

When you pull up to the event, just pull off the road and one of the guys will be at the entrance. They'll direct you where to park from there

Thanks for the info.

Drop.me a PM when you can.

Hi nickvel, To start off, Alpina do not control the markup BMW dealers put on their kit... Ultimately you can get a full suspension kit from FMW Tuning...last time i checked they were charging 1k which is less than the price of 2 shocks from BMW. I got quoted £565 a corner for shocks a few years ago...

Not bad not bad!!

About a week and a half to go
