Yep - as soon as we can conclude this deal there will be two of them sat in the garage

Can't be many left in the UK now so i'll own a reasonable percentage of all the B9's left ha ha

Lucky you Two B9s
I knew your white one, it used belong to a guy in Woodside park North London just around the corner from my parents house
He must of had it for at least 15 years, should of left a note on it.
Good luck with the black one, I'm sure it will be lovely when finished.

Just been down to look at the car again this afternoon.

Managed to get a look at the seats. Was a little surprised to see they were different to my current cars Scheel buckets. When did Alpina switch over from Scheel to what look like Recaros?

the scheel was an option as was trimmed BMW sport or recaro seats, all down to what the original buyer wanted or could afford.

Looks like the ones in the 'new' B9 are the latter, so Alpina trimmed BMW seats.
