F10 D5 A34 Southbound
F10 D5 A34 Southbound
Spotted on the A34 south of Oxford on the 9th August, early afternoon.
Pre LCI but quite a popular UK choice in Sapphire Black having had a quick look at the Register.
Can also have an educated guess at the owners name.
The first other Alpina of any description i've seen on the road since a purchased mine 5 months ago, nice to see one in the wild!

A wealth of Alpina knowledge as ever Bob!
More obscurely, two weeks later i caught a glimpse of a nearly new (up to 3 years old perhaps) Alpina (?)5 Saloon in a medium metallic bronze kind of colour being driven in Chipping Norton! I'm perhaps lacking too much description there i barely spotted it myself so no chance of a photo...

I’m teetering on the edge of purchasing this after #121 got written off a mere 19 hours into my ownership (HGV came across two lanes)
Do either of you know anything about it? And what do you think of the price?
Cheers

Sorry to hear that about #121, but if you are in the market for another car then sounds like you had a lucky escape.Danburns91 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 12:33 amI’m teetering on the edge of purchasing this after #121 got written off a mere 19 hours into my ownership (HGV came across two lanes)

Was this D5 F10 #121? That was my old car.
Means it has been written-off twice.... Hope no-one was hurt.

Hey!
I believe it was. From what I understand it was cat d - engine damage, the person who bought it was a BMW specialist who did all the big end bearings, timing chain etc and it ran beautifully. Just a shame somebody made a silly mistake and wrote it off again, cat s this time but I’m sure somebody will look to repair it.

It is a good looking car.
Yes, I managed to get some water into the engine getting out of a flash flood up in Scotland.
Pity you didn't get to enjoy her. I did about 80,000 trouble-free miles.

Not a great deal i'm afraid, i only saw it on the road just the once.Danburns91 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 12:33 am

From the add it looks decent - memory comfort seats are a nice option and full BMW service history is fairly reassuring.
I'd suggest the black grill isn't from the factory, and it looks to not be riding on Michelins but i cant quite make out what they are.
Also needs a new front Alpina decal unless you remove it completely for the subtle look.
Pricewise i'd say its marginally lower then anything similar recently. Be good to try to negotiate some warranty into that, as long as the dealer supplies a warranty worth having!
Sorry to hear of the demise of #121, good luck in your search for a replacement
