Ken needs to go for sure - but when the competition is a Nazi is a Camp Copper.

I heard he was going to make Pink cars CC exempt.

Re: My Alpina respray colour, please VOTE!

Blue is awesome. Waaaaaaaay better thank Black, which is dull as doornails as common as muck. But it must stay Black. Why? It's not a 288GTO or an RS Carrera, it's an E30 worth maybe 10 grand finished. To paint it another standard 88/89 BMW colour would be a bit iffy. Doing it blue would make it th...

Re: Proposed ban of 'older cars'

The energy, eco-impact and waste of building a new car outweighs the inefficiency of an older car's engine by over a 1000%.

As stated, it's a 'gift' to car manufacturers for the ever increasing burdens Governments place on them with emissions restrictions.

Fuck 'em.

There are rules to this.

Alpina period colours only and full decals if decals are applied.

I have changed my mind now.

Black with Silver.

Decals are readily available so not a problem. Personally i would only put the decals on the front spoiler ,i think the body ones are a bit OTT. I currently have a Biturbo in macau with gold stripes and i can't help thinking they look a bit garish, not that macau with champagne leather isn't ! :) P...

Re: My Alpina respray colour, please VOTE!

The case for Blue is strong.

In light of all that maybe you could go Blue.

Have you got an original set of decals? Are they hard to get - that may be the defining point.

Re: My Alpina respray colour, please VOTE!

In retrospect, it is a bare metal re-spray, the car started life not as an Alpina but as a Diamond Black 325iSE and when the Alpina conversion was done the original owner could quite have easily spec'd a colour change too. So the Blue may not be so easy to dismiss after all - I expect the car will n...

Re: My Alpina respray colour, please VOTE!

It's this simple. Blue and Gold looks awesome - by far a better and rarer colour scheme - in that respect it's a very easy decision. BUT! The original colour was Black so that is why it must stay Black. That's what the V5 says and the factory will confirm. It's a curse - but it must stay original. B...
