Looks like Brian was spotted recently.
You might need to update your info sheet Brian, they sold a few more between 2015 and the end of production.
By my reckoning there's 69 UK F31 D3's (34 pre-LCI & 35 LCI). Yours is the only one of the 69 in Liquid Blue.

I had a look at this event Brian having seen this post - looked good. You'll have to give us a heads up if there are any similar events you are attending in the Midlands area....

Is that the colour that was available for the M cars? I have seen it a few times and is one of my favourites.
Used to be the colour I would select for a Ferrari 512bb on Gran Tourismo 2 when I was a yoof - Azzurro Metallizzato.
D5 F11 Touring #107
B8 Touring #21 SOLD - but regretted

I assume you're thinking of Silverstone Frosty, which was an M3 colour from the E46 onwards. This D3 is Liquid Blue which is a standard BMW F3x colour, it's similar to Silverstone, but I think it's a bit bluer/darker.

#015 Spotted today at Shelsley Walsh Breakfast Club meeting this morning. A great looking car in mint condition. I met the owner, Brian, he’s a true Alpina enthusiast. He is attending the Sytner event in Nottingham next month.

I intended to go to Shelsley this morning but it sold out really early. Everyone must have seen the weather forecast.
