Hi Norrie,

I'm the owner of the D4 and only had it a week. I've never had so many compliments and cheery waves. You two made my day, thanks! I feel privileged to have joined the Alpina club. Now what's the best way to tell someone it's not really a BMW? :D
I was off to Faro with a slightly bigger toy that has a HUD.

No problem, we could not believe we actually saw one in our region that we had not seen before. Not that there are many generally around. Not too sure where you might take it, by BMR performance at Turners Hill might be convenient if you are out of Gatwick. There are many other reliable and efficient garages and dealers, but this one might make geographical logic. They have kept the B7 going the last few years.

Thanks Norrie,

I'd seen BMR being mentioned on the forum so I will try there for the next service/issue.
I'll keep a beady eye out for you on the Sussex roads.
