Thanks! Yes my 335d will be going, I will miss it a lot it was just superb.

The B3 S Touring is a 1 owner car from new. I have kept in touch with Gary Lott (Alpina GB Brand Manager) for over 2.5 years in search for my ideal Alpina. I’m one of those tossers who would wait forever for the right spec.

What makes this car very special is that it’s the only Tanzanite Blue of the 12 which came to the UK. Colour breakdown below,

Tanzanite Blue x 1
Mediterranean Blue x 1
Alpina Green II x 3
Alpina Blue II x 4
Grigio Telesto x 1
Nardo Grey x 1
Carbon Black x 1

I have a sneaky suspicion this is the only car of the 12 in the UK to have the Lavalina II which costs £7,600. I shall check this with Gary.

Below is a quick guide to the difference between Lavalina I & Lavalina II. Should keep things entertaining as I have 2 young kids who love cake.





Here's a rubbish picture. Doesn't do it justice.
