What did you do in your ALPINA today?
Off night-skiing tonight - and after last week's debacle I opted for the Passat today - despite good weather expected. Its not been driven since last Saturday - and the Morgan is in the garage on the charger!!
2010 Aero 8 Supersport | 2008 Alpina B5s | 2004 BMW X3 3.0D | 1996 BMW M3 Evo (non road-legal)
Today I put a new battery in the car as it hadn't been used for 6 weeks.
Keep the old one as a spare.
Now I have a check engine light on so tomorrow will be investigating that. Also ion tomorrows list is to replace the bonnet badge and replace the rear wiper after last weeks football game my car got vandalised and the rear wiper torn off and the bonnet badge enamel removed.
Could have been worse.....

Hopefully this topic will go on for pagesMCB wrote:Interesting topic though.
I am unsure if I should change the subject title to: What did you do in, with, or even to your ALPINA today. Any suggestions?

I sorted out the engine warning light for misfire on cylinder 5
Reset and cleared all the codes.
Fitted a new BMW roundel to the bonnet.
Fitted a new rear wiper assembly
150 mile round trip to Dumbarton and performed effortlessly despite a near miss with some cones on the M8 Eastbound to separate the lanes with no prior warning!!!
I pulled out to pass a slower moving SUV only to be confronted with a line of cones starting to separate the 2 carriageways, A swift Elk maneuver saw me in the outside lane and thankfully didn't collect any cones en route.
