E38 Alpina

[DanThe]

I quite like this, a little bit OTT maybe, but different at least and on such a prestige marque how can you go wrong

[bss325i]

Anyone know why the rear central locking and e/windows cease to work in the E38? I've checked the fuses which all seem fine. They just stopped working all of a sudden?

Quite likely the ZKE (body control module).

That probably looks at home cruising around Rotherham.

Andy - for your info that'll definately not be at home anywhere in the UK nevermind Rotherham, the rear plate should give you a hint.

Dan - Is that really your car 'cos if it is - you sure do know your 'council turds' it's all starting to make sense.

Its my weekend car, do you know how much these things cost? They say money cant buy you taste, well, it cant buy you brain cells either, but it can buy shite like this

You don't say? Wow, thanks for that, I'd never have known.


Aren't sarcasm and irony wonderful things? A shame they're lost on some here!

If that's the case then you definately do have the right to judge 'council turds' as with that i'd defiately call you the king.

They are mate - it's definately a shame some people don't know the difference between that and taking the pi55 where you shouldn't but well done for claryfing yourself to me.

Kam

[Andyboy]

You're most welcome!

Thankyou, now, for the judging I agree with all previous comments from the likes of pacerpete and andyboy

fair enough, obviously all the other decent cars on here car can't possibly compete with your peice of 'shite' as you call it yourself.

[Kammy]

You're most welcome!

Not a problem mate, I call it the way I see it.

Decent cars ? Yes, the green 750 looks nice

[Kammy]

Just a shame nobody here could actually afford to run it

[BadDave]

What have you got?

Here you go then
How about one which hasn't been tarted up to look like an Alpina.
One that came direct from the BMW factory with the options already supplied by Alpina
OK it's not an E38, but still a capable non speed limited E39

Sorry Dave, no 'brows/anal eyes/£20 Irish plate/tower block , no cigar !

[BadDave]

Sometimes less is more Pete

Unmolested is sometimes better

Edit.
It does have the clear indicators and anal eyes

[Andyboy]

How many genuine E34 B10 BiTurbos have you had Pete - is it 2 or 3 now?

For my part I've only ever had two real Alpinas - such is life I guess.

Thats stunning. Everything you want in a car.

Thanks Dave, a very nice machine you have there, loving the date stamp on the photo's, hands up to you.

However i'm still waiting for the members that did the most cussing on here to show some pics. So far i've just seen one peice of 'shite' which is supposedly theirs.

I'll repeat 'had' is not 'have got'.

What happened? could you not afford to run them or maintain them anymore? petrol prices getting to high for you to keep them?

As we said, we have still got ours, had it for 2 years, not thinking of selling despite fuel and insurance prices going up, not got it on a classic car policy, all mods declared.

Fair enough it is not a genuine Alpina but then I didn't buy a v12 just for it to sit on the "DRIVE" to look good because I couldn't afford to actually use it. It gets used daily for local mileage and the long journey when we need to. Everything works and before anybody objects, my opinion is, I am entitled to it and it is our car, that it does look good.

So the question once again, Andy and Pete, is what have you 'CURRENTLY GOT' other than your E30's, we've seen one peice of 'shite' from Dan which he apparently uses on the weekend presumably in his high class, non council estate, so don't be shy and lets see them.

B10 ! what a Lovely chariot
which peasant parked his counciled up touring next to it ?

[BadDave]

From what Info I've gathered the 3.2l ones were manual. It's the 3.3l and v8's which were mostly switchtronic(from 99 onwards).

BTW
I only picked it up yesterday.

Steve,

That council touring is going off the road for a little remedial bit of bodywork and a further brake upgrade, hence the new "daily driver".

[bss325i]

Nice B10 Dave!

If you ever need part numbers for it, drop me a PM.

Will do if and when the need arises.

[Blitz]

You need Alpina floor mats.

[BadDave]

You need Alpina floor mats.

They are fitted.
The rubber BMW ones are laid on top to keep them looking new

[Andyboy]

You going to bring it down to the Pod then Dave?

[Kammy]

Am I to presume you don't have any pics of your cars Andy?

Oh.

[BadDave]

There's a possibility that I'll bring it down.
It all depends on whether or not the tourer is presentable.
Either way It'll give Pete something to rip the pi55 out off.

Dave, your E39 is much too subtle and tasteful for my attention, I am sure I will be otherwise occupied over at the 7 series register marvelling at the variety of £25 Irish plates / ink/sportswear and tasteful ebay styling touches
