My E39 540i Touring
Discussion
Well, it's still here... and I'm not sad about that fact at all. 
I put an advert up, but it looked terrible, not sure why the Pistonheads editor wouldn't let me add paragraphs and web links into the description. It used to?!
Anyway, I thought that I'd had very little interest but when I told one of my friends he said to check my junk mail... lo and behold, I discovered that all emails from Pistonheads (both PM and advert replies) had been going into that folder, again, fairly sure that didn't happen before?! Anyway, if you're reading this and had tried to contact me; then I'm sorry, you'll all have a reply this evening.
Anyway, a wee update on the car.. it's still fantastic!! After a quick snow foaming, I took a couple of pictures today when we were out with the dogs. I've not put any filters on them, in an attempt to show off the colour a wee bit more than other pictures in this thread, but have lost a wee bit of polish on the finished picture because of that unfortunately.
I'd noticed that a couple of the Alpina wheels had lost pressure, so did a bit of rooting on the net and it seems that after going for a refurb they can cause bother.. and since these wheels have just been refinished, I assume that's the problem.
I found the part number for replacement valves on the Alpina register, phoned up my local dealer and order a pair... and after I collected them, I thought that since I'll be taking a trip to my tyre fitter to get the them fitted, I might order another pair and just have all four replaced at the same time.
Cheers,
Grant
