Yes a fantastic reveiw

A big well done to Neil & Andy and all involved.

I must say this site has always been an invaluable resource to me.

glad you liked it Tony... but imo and i'm sure Neil feels the same.. creating and maintaining the site is one thing.. but it wouldn't be the site and community it is - without all of the members and the combined knowledge

Exactly

There's a snippet about the D3 in January's BMW Car in the Car of the Year article (it came 3rd behind the 335i Coupe and the 335d Touring) and there's also a good 1/2 page write-up on the register web site too.

Andy, Charles and Neil well done for monitoring and maintainence the web site.
Finally I got a copy of BMW car magazine which states that the web site is excellent and a must for those who want to become one of the Alpina glen.
A big thank you to all who contrlbutes and express their opinions. Keep up all the good works.

(that including myself)

That's better.

An excellent write up and all credit in the main to Neil and Andy and generally to all members of the Register who continue to amaze me with the quality of their posts and the respect for others on the site..

Just a shame that they say that the site is provided by BMWCC - but that's a small gripe.

Well done everyone

Exactly. The Register received the write up it deserved.

Just out of interest Neil, have you noticed any significant increases in the amount of traffic to the site around the time that article was published?

Two Alpina E30s in this month Total BMW. A B6 3.5 which started life as a 2.8, and a four door C2.7.
