The chap 'CroxFox;' I think, no, I know, I've just soiled myself...

Very nice, indeed.



This is one thing that always makes me chuckle when it pops up somewhere: Denglisch, or Denglish

"Production exclusiver Automobile" should either be "Production of Exclusive Automobiles" or »Produktion exklusiver Automobile«

Just like your contributions, squire. You know, you must have one, they speak your language

:drooooooooool: God I'd love an E38 B12, lucky git!

Cheers,

Wow. The light blue colour and cream interior give Odin's chariot just a hint of pimp daddy.... lovely. Anybody know any stats on these beasts ?

[burriana]

Sweet mother of Mary, Jane, Sharon, Britney, Chelsea and any other young ladies you care to name ... that is nice!

[Apache]

Bloody hell that's gorgeous! I love E38s and I love Alpinas......that is perfect, makes my future purchase look a little tame

[Mark V8]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
One of the stars of my fantasy garage without doubt.

I've seen this B12 6.0 a few times and it's utterly gorgeous. Cost well over £100k when new but a used bargain now if you can find one.

Ashok,

Just 1 in rhd, so I'm told and the owner has rejected bids north of £50k!

Tbh, I can see why: it is sublime.

Then again, you could buy a decent E38, commission a bare metal respray in the Eblue, do the same avec l'interieur and then conspire to stick something suitably snarl laden in the dilithium bay...

None of which would cost anything like and whilst the provenance would be relatively iffy, the effect and reality probably not too far removed...

Btw, what news on ye B5S?

[belleair302]

I am off to look at a V8S sometime this week in titan silver....oh happy days and will make a smooth change from the raw e34 M5.

All ...

I believe there are 4 RHD ones, Phil Crouch had one in last week.

At least, I think it was a B12, it was defo the same shape, and had 4 exhuasts.

6.0 or 5.7s? Ok, the Eblue is unique! That's for sure.

6.0, i've just been standing beside it

The Eblue one is totally unique. All the others are the same different colour.

stners are really expensive and Comrade Ken is out to get me (£25 a day!!) so I'm having second thoughts. I'll probably cave in and get one but it might not be until late '08/early '09....

[derestrictor]

The guy I dealt with at the above named dealer told me the 'S' upgrades weren't retro fittable so how come http://www.sytner.co.uk/stocklist.cfm?mode=4&v... this exists?

Swines!

Hey ho, I wanted a B7 anyway!

[belleair302]

I am not so sure you want to give your money to these people....their reputation is somewhat compromised.

[ALawson]

Just seen the B5S in this weeks autocar
