New to the group
Hello, just joined the club. Picked up the D4 from Carrera specialist cars today. Absolutely delighted with my new motor. Coming from a 435d which I’ve enjoyed owning for the last 13 months very much. Very different animal now though. What a car

Re: New to the group
Congratulations and welcome to the club! Alpina's are amazing cars and the community is just as good. This is a great forum with loads of knowledge.
It will be an interesting comparison between the 435d and the D4. Regardless of the performance I suspect it will be the ride and handling that impress most. Enjoy!

Welcome Kevin.
I saw your car there when I bought mine from Carrera in February. Great guys to deal with.

Welcome. Lovely car. The F32 is one of the high points of modern BMW design IMO.

Re: New to the group
Hello Kevin, (again!), welcome, you find this forum really handy for things Alpina and a helpful group of people who know a lot about the brands and the cars.
Ours cars not that far apart #51 / #59
Look forward to update after you have had it a few weeks and how you are getting on with it.
Wheels are a pain. Put a ceramic coating on mine and pressure wash off spokes and dish behind now with ease. Worth doing just the wheels as big time saver.

Re: New to the group
Congrats on the purchase. That car has a great spec on on it.
