Not sure it would like very nice turning up with a missing grill, what do you think gents?

It will be fine, everyone will love it even without a grill, it's an Alpina after all

[Avtar]

Thanks, Sytner advised me that the part was on back order, so I called Cooper Cobham yesterday enquired, made them aware it was an Alpina, they said the part is the same as a standard 4 series coupe/convertible but comes in 3 parts, so i have ordered it and it should arrive today, hopefully it will correct. If it is then god help Sytner for shit I will throw their way!

Is there an advantage buying BMW parts from Sytner I don't even buy Alpina parts from them!

[Avtar]

They were implying that this part was different due to it being an Alpina and therefore it had to come from Alpina?

Look forward to seeing those joining. With or without parts on their cars no judgement here

On a serious note ETA is still 07:45 (possible before depending on when I leave Beconsfield services with a fellow Alpina driver) for a rendezvous at Sainsbury's before we set off to Runnymeade.

Great turn out on Sunday. Was a pleasure to see Brian again and meet Avtar, Jules in person too. Also special thanks to wing man Mark in his pristine Z4Roadster (forget his username) quote of the day 'who we following?'

If anyone hasn't been to the Runnymeade meet before thoroughly recommend it. Proper range of cars anything from Cortina Lotus's Dodge Chargers, converted E30s to name a few...

Put it this way - soaking up so much rarity and nostalgia and didn't bother taking a single pic. A big middle finger to social media I know but enjoy the moment is what I say!

Very good day at Runnymede, never seen so many rat rods , Avtar and I at the Pre meet

[Avtar]

Great to meet face to face and it was indeed a lovely day, and the sun finally came out also! Brian you now have me confused, do I go Silver stripes or Gold?

[B10BRW]

Avtar nice to met you, as a personal preference I would go with Gold.

A couple of shots of my Midnight Blue B3S Cab as a guide

Looks super smart Brian.

[Avtar]

That does look very nice indeed
