Another E90 D3 Biturbo

Post by MDMA » Fri May 13, 2022 7:23 pm

Another I’ve spotted. Hope you don’t think I’m spamming the sale threads! I’ve emailed the dealer, but no reply yet. I think it might be #173? Maybe The Oracle that is Bob might know. If it is, any further info on this? Looks like someone has made a bit of a bad job painting the Alpina name on the front lower spoiler. Seems decent enough condition. Can never understand why dealers don’t show/list the vehicle reg.
Again though, a 5 hour round trip if I want to go and have a look. Never anything local when you want something.

Yes, it's #173. The reg always makes me smurk, "FJ10FFS"

It's another one that's been around a bit

Apr-Jun-20: dealer in Durham for £9k with 98k
Jun-20-Mar-21: dealer in Sutton Coldfield for £10.5k with 97k (presume dealer roundings) dropped as low as £9k

Mar-22 to date: dealer in Durham for £11k with 110k, dropped to £10k in early April.
B3 3.2 TOURING #062

You're worried about the poor ALPINA lettering being badly painted. Look closely...is it a cream car, or a white car, as it's trying to be both. They've also tried to turn it into a semi-black edition...

I'd steer well away from heavy handed poorly done paint repairs.

There's plenty around, and some are even good ones. This is too expensive for a poor car.

I had noticed the O/S front wing being a different shade. Also the full N/S does look a different colour to the O/S. But the camera/shade/light does do funny things when the image comes out.
I might stop looking for a while! Just desperate to get one bought and if don’t buy something soon, I can see myself buying something else. Would much prefer to buy from a forum member. At least then, you’d hope it was a half decent car.

Needs more than a sticker to hide that dodgy paint, Brian :shock:

That's not the light. Various angles show same issue: bodged paint. And heavily painted to blur the lines, too
White suits these, but buy a straight one. And desperation? Bide your time and a good car will appear: always does :pray
