Sreten has found himself a butchered B12 to restore, this is going to be an interesting series - highly recommend!

Beautiful looking car. Peak BMW design, arguably peak ALPINA and in Oxford Green 8)

No wonder he's wetting himself at the opportunity. He's got 2 v v special ALPINA now - this and the V8 S Tourer.

Definitely a classic design! 😍 looked good on release, looks great now and will continue to look good - cant say the same about the current 7 series....

Was gutted for him, with 11 out of the 12 bores being mint. 3rd engine for this car now :shock:

makes you think on the 6.0 cars. My old 5.7 had done 250,000 miles and had never been apart. Most 6.0s seem to have been rebuilt by now or alot of them
