And another one came along....

which I couldn't say no to so Alpina D3 Biturbo Touring no 098 has joined me here in Edinburgh.
When an old friend messaged me and said I'm going to sell my Alpina wagon with Dynamics but don't want to deal with Jo Public I did the honourable thing and took it off his hands.
Another update to my signature needed but also means my E90 D3 Biturbo now has to get the heave after me spending the last week replacing all the wood trim and interior.
I'm going to put my B3 wagon in for a full respray as had it over 8 years and it needs doing so this will be the daily bus from now on.
It has had the suspension removed and replaced with HSD coilovers and the front arms replaced with E90 M3 arms.
The net result is a huge improvement in handling over my other D3 Biturbo but no loss in comfort either £1k well spent by the previous owner. 4 x recent pilot sports too which is a bonus. Looks well for 131k miles
The silver trim has gone in the bin with this one as well for a more fitting walnut I think this time but bloody nob head here forgot to get a gear nob so back to ebay.internet for that!!
Here's some pics
