I'm sure I have seen some celebrity papped coming out of their house, down that street.

Just round the corner from Paddington station I presume?

Usually there when I walk past.

Yes, I posted it last year. At that point the front was covered in signatures of famous people

But qualifies for the bad parking thread.

I agree that this is about the cars and not the parking.

However, for reference, that set of bays is quite a dangerous spot to be parked so far from the kerb. It is two lanes northbound - but the parking bay eats into the nearside one and people pass very close. I'd be nervous leaving it like that.

Cheating slightly as it was at a local cars and coffee, but I'm sure you won't mind.

Looks a bit like the news where Daniel Craig gets dropped off in Layer Cake after being told about the informant. Or pretty much any other mews, I guess.

According to Google

Thora Hird used to live in that Mews with the Aston laugh

You can too if you have £2.8M kicking about

Layer Cake used Guy Ritchies (then) house for the exterior shots.

Tokyo this afternoon...
The LCI version of the B3 3.3 sedan (around 60 produced) and the B3S sedan (250 produced) are visually identical.
Of these the vast majority of production were Japan-spec (38 resp 154, so 62%).
Almost all were virtually identikit Alpina Blue exterior / black interior.

One of 20 examples of the B5 BiTurbo Touring produced for the Japanese market.
Of these, 9 were Alpina Blue II - with other colors being mainly Alpine White III and Alpina Green II.

There is a chance it might be the only example of D5 BiTurbo Touring imported to Japan. It was Alpina Blue II as well.
You indeed posted pictures in this thread... must have been 2014/2015.

Visually the B5 BiTurbo (4.4 twin-turbo petrol engine, various versions ranging from 500-600hp & 700-800Nm) and D5 BiTurbo (3.0 twin-turbo diesel engine, 350hp & 700Nm) are more or less identical. The only reason we knew the difference at the time was that you posted a picture of the rear with type emblem visible.

Uncalled for.

I for one enjoy his Alpina stats as I'm a big fan of the cars.

That's an honorable mention considering the OCD lavished on various low-mileage vehicles stored in air chambers in your garage smokin

Out of interest how many full fat petrol cars, eg the B3 and B5, do Alpina sell in the UK each year?
