E30 Zone

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.


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




Here she is home in a place a bit different to her home of the last 10 years








Lumpy tackle with plenty of fruit




Quick wash and onto the usual photo location











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

Looks very nice that dude

Proper chariot!

Very nice, I like that a lot!

that really does look executive

and its great to have you posting again mate

Your one greedy 8astard Simon, I mean how many Alpina's does one man need??

Everything aside that is one epic motor, a true keeper, hats off to you

Foooking executive cooont , as spook would say !

Utterly perverted!

You barsteward!

Good to see you posting again Bert

Thought so.

Needs stripes but Gold or Silver?????

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.

Fuuuuuuuck thats nice Si.

That is one cool motor ! What sort of bhp/torque those push out with a turbs ?

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!

Looks like lots are moving on now Jon.

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.

Badges back on and stripes Si. Has to be "in ya face!"

Agree Silver / grey........ Or coloured to match the stripes in the seats?????

That is a beaut, absolutely love these cars - you must be chuffed to bits.

Oh WOW! I'm jealous.

nice

Lovely car Simon, would look nice with the stripes, silver I think would look good!

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!

Epic beastie there - enjoy the ownership!
