So that Alpina B10 V8. You'll need a strong stomach for the interior....

Wow, that's quite something! The David Blunkett edition.

Has this been posted before? Should stay within thread budget.

That drivers seat could do with some work - not sure I could live with red that bright, and this coming from someone with purple leather in his barge....

Maybe you could offer to buy the phone?

You can, my dad had it in his E92 M3.

I didn't spot that till you made me look again lol - that is about the shade of my interior too....

That is absolutely hideous. Not only is the interior an appalling colour, the steering wheel looks like a chewed old dog toy. I can only imagine how fetid that cabin must smell. The seats look as flat as fk too.

Wow. I'm fairly forgiving of interior combinations but that is repulsive!

This is a proper smoker barge. Got to be worth that price all day long

Question to the denizens of this fine thread. What would you say is the fastest proper car within thread budget. By proper, I mean, not a Toyota Supra. And by fastest, I mean, in the real world, not on the track/0-60. I suspect it is something like a 545i, maybe a S600 biturbo, but none of those hits the spot, they're a bit too big and lardy.

Very difficult to see beyond a BMW M5 surely? E39. W215 CL600? I do wish I had bought that ALmandine black one that was posted here about 6 months ago, I actually test drove it. The shove was ... biblical.

At today's values a sub £5K E39 M5 is really not the one you want.

[E65Ross]

I was quite surprised at a spot I made yesterday in my local shops car park... An E60 545i saloon. Not sure whether I'd have it debadged or not. I've kept the 745i debadged, though if it came with badges I'd probably have left them.

5k with a lot of shove? Jaguar S type R?

Apart from as a parts donor for a healthier one.

Isn't there a way of finding out what options are fitted to a BMW using the vin?

I've just put a deposit on a 325i and think it might have sports suspension. I couldn't get a 330i but probably won't miss the extra 500cc too often.

Google "BMW VIN decoder", there's loads.

http://bmwvin.com/

Etc.

Used to be as simple as phone your local dealer and they'd tell you, ditto the history. Until they worked out they could use a premium rate number.

You still can if you have a good relationship with your dealer/parts manager.

I doubt it's perfect but this looks good in black, de-chromed, SWB with genuine Alpina wheels.

Have we had this one. Taken from another thread

Doesn't look too bad to me, although the seller does not have the strongest command of the English language!

[deeen]

Looks too low at the back, apart from anything else?
