The 2014 Alpina D3 Touring with *almost* moon mileage

[Waitey]

Mileage going up at a fair rate again now.

5 weeks between these two photos!

295k



Now over 297k



1000 miles to do in the next 4 days. So getting very close to the magical 300k miles!

Then the next big one is 310685 miles which is half a million KM's.

Keep up the good work!

I bought a 530d Tourint on 149k miles and it's superb. Always keep looking out for Alpina D5 for sale, but finding a Touring for sale is near impossible.

My mileage is either nothing or 500 miles in one day. Hope to get this to 250k miles.

Only issue so far has been the headlight which got the dreaded condensation issue and cost me the small sum of £2300 to replace...

1000 miles done over the weekend.

48.7mpg.

Can't complain at that.

298k done!



Also I have no idea what’s gotten into it.

Over the last 4 years I’ve seen 500 miles a tank plus or minus 10 miles.

This last tank it did 572 with 20 mile showing remaining! Knocking on for 50mpg! This wasn’t on long runs either.

The extra range is just due to the engine loosening up a bit now you've finally run it in

Such a great thread and effort. Epic is really appropriate, well done OP, you’ve really looked after this special car.

It’s tried its best to die since I got it:

Engine going
Front springs snapping
High pressure fuel pump dying and taking the injectors with it
Then I hydrolocked it
Followed by a near terminal coolant leak

Still troops on though.

The new digital Alpina dials are sadly quite ugly.

Where as these have some pride in them, esp with allowing the VDO logo to be displayed.
