Alpina B10 V8s

Great value. Better than the M5 I think. Naturally Aspirated V8!

Nice car for an "OLD MAN"

they like a headgasket also, not proving the most robust in old age is the e39

I've heard that the brake discs and pads are hideously espensive on the V8s when compared to the V8. No personal experience of this though.

£1000 for front disc's and pads only

Awesome cars. No way better than an M5 though unless you like auto's.

[Simon13]

V8s' used some funky brembos which the 4.6 did without iirc

[cecotto479]

The current one is.

I had a wee blat of Sytners E60 B5S a few months ago. Indescribably good - I don't know the figures, but it felt every bit as fast as an M5, but smoother, "calmer" and much more refined. Probably the best car I have driven - and there's been a few.

The B10 V8's used the same brakes as the M5

Well they are 530bhp and 530lbs of torque so probably quicker 90% of the time than the V10 M5. Any gear anytime would be my words!

one of the guys off the soarer forum has just bought this, aparently it ain't short on shove and has 200mph speedo

[Alex]

[Simon13]

Lee tell him the 6.0 versions are better! lol

they do 6.0 versions

[Simon13]

yup that one pictured is an earlier 5.7. 6.0 was something like 440bhp and simialr torque. They were £100,000 car when they where new!

[Alex]

awsome, i want one along with a shell fuel tanker

[Blitz]

Lee tell him the 6.0 versions are better! lol

they do 6.0 versions

This is the most special one.

[Alex]

FUCK ME!!!!

Estoril blue one

[cecotto479]

I've driven that one too. Lovely car to drive - the blue's a little bit too much for me, but it is a special car beautifully maintained and looked after.

That's nothing mate, a friend works in a Porsche garage and they once had to price up discs and pads all round for a 997 Turbo S (carbon discs).......................... £15,000 for the parts! at trade rate!
