Here is my Alpina B10 V8, thought I'd throw a few pictures up smile

It's a lovely car to drive, very comfortable and relaxing, but bags of power when needed! That said it is very thirsty, and not as fun to drive as a hot hatch. So she is up for sale frown

Somehow the fact that its an alpina seems to make the interior okay :/ lovely motor OP. Hope you enjoy it.

That's pretty cool, I've just picked myself up a 540. First luxury car and absolutely love it.

I must say that it's not my taste at all, but as you say because it is an Alpina it sort of works!

I do enjoy it, but its just a bit unnecessary for my needs at the moment, so I'm selling it frown

The B10 is very similar to the 540. That was the car on which it is based. They are both great cars smile

Oddly I usually post up in here just before I sell a car... almost as if saying a farewell! Never noticed a trend before. This car was gone about 3 days after posting this! smile

I'll aim for £4000 and see what happens smile

I must say, I do like this thing. After another week with it I'm considering keeping and sinking some money into it.

Wow. 4k. I got my 540 with 80k on the clock, FSH, 2002, for less than half that.
Good luck

It's not an Alpina though, is it?

Good point, I assume someone preferred the Sport bumper.

According to the previous owner and some people on the Alpina forum, it was specified by Sytner as it was their show car. The red Recaro's are also for this reason.
