I love B12's great cars but essentially it's a 750I which are horrific to run, they love fuel !
why has it got forward tilting front seats ? and budget tyres on the back ? for that sort of money you need to get a full independant inspection as four star classics only sell them for the owners with commision in mind,
if your serious about buying it, get in contact with Pacerpete who is nearby and knows his way around these quite well, his inspection will be money very well spent

Front tyres are not acceptable especially at that price. Is the exhaust original? Looks like the back box is not original Alpina.

Thanks, I need little things like that bringing to light. I too thought cheep tyres were odd.
White needles seem wrong too but not sure. Ill Get in touch with Pacer as someone with good knowledge to view would really help.
I think if its as good as they say then its worth it but if it has been rough at some time in its life or still has bad areas then it really isn't.
