Nope I've double checked, and clearly under the bonnet it says Mystic Blue Metallic.

I have to say though, your blue is in another league. Stunning car mate.

Best BMW blue ever. Anyone who disagrees is simply wrong. Stunning colour.

There are some gorgeous cars above. Here is my P&J, a rather uniquely specified Alpina B5. Colours don't come out as well as they might on screen, but I just wanted to move away from my normal silver / black combo!

Alpina blue exterior



Twin tone lavalina creme / cognac interior (not to everyone's taste, so please don't flame me! - but I love it!)



Best part of the car - the amazing, jewel like engine.

Kind regards

Steve
Very nice car the exterior looks lovely but OMFG that wooden interior trim is extremely foul.......it ruins the car for me.

That's exactly what Alpina's are about.

Very much individualism - interiors can be almost anything that you wouldn't get away with on a 'normal' BMW.

I'd love one as you can get away with all sorts that on a normal 3series would get you shot

Which is why I* chose a boring black interior.

But on the flip side - a very lively exterior!

Fox no wonder you got rid of the 335, that interior is miles better and you have kept it lovely!

How many miles has it done ?

I love the extended leather console above.

Only thing I'd really like mine to have at the moment is heated seats, just been out and its -3!

Following the trend..



Really need some new photos, that's from when I bought it.

Nice! Another 540i.

Remove those eyelid things at once though!

Any details on the remap? Can you get it over to Charlie @ Surrey Rolling Road on his next £40 Saturday and see what its making?
