After much deliberation i've re appeared zoners, i guess even though the site is moderated by clowns i still can't get away!


What have we all been doing? I've gone up in the world as of today. Securing a hero chariot from peoples top 10 dream garage of BMW's or cars in general


This has been a very trying past week, after viewing the car last saturday but unable to leave a deposit as the owner was called last minute to the states and his wife kindly let me view drive it.

Started off going to the rough hole kensington at 10am today!!
Gated entrance you know............

Alpina B10 Bi Turbo No.445 one of the last narrow grill built cars in Diamond black, with black buffalo recaro interior. All 99% of factory options. :D


After the deal was done i had to go to pick up the service history from elsewhere!

After a run down the M3 on the way home with the boost turned to warp speed i'm going to call it "The Missile" because thats exactly what it is. LHD is cool and its been easy to adjust to. I'm in Love

8) Stunning car, I would be scared to own that

+1 what pacerpete said :)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I get this horrible feeling an e30 just won't cut the mustard after this.

What a lovely machine. I too have just started reading/and posting on the zone after around 2-3 years. Finally got a z3m coupe.

factory figures are 360bhp and 385lbs. I'm guessing like most alpinas they normally do a bit more! My cousin has a monaro VXR with over 400bhp i'd love to do toe to toe with him!

mine isn't rest assured. This year is turning into a very good year. This thing has a 110 litre fuel tank! 24 gallons! So about £154 to fill it up with super, mind you it would go a long long way on it if you cruised at 80 odd as it seems very good 30mpg cruising yesterday much to my surprise

OBC is reading 9.6 litres per 100km which is 29 off mpg.......


RE stripes this is a tough one, being diamond black like the 2 door i think silver is the choice, and maybe just the front spoiler? The pervious keeper had the bi turbo badges removed for more stealth action.

If this is the car that I think it is, and the penniless loser that I suspect was doing his best to do his usual type of deal, then I am DELIGHTED that you've bagged it. Well done - it looks epic! :cool:
