This is what I had before my Z4

Tax and insurance isn’t as much of an issue here in the Netherlands. Tax is based on fuel type and vehicle weight, coming in at around €800/year for a B3. Insurance isn’t up for yearly renewal like in the UK but rather based on you as a driver as well as where you live. So no yearly price hikes or surprises; what you get is what you get
As Alpinas of each variety are so rare, the UK classes mine on a 'generic' tax band, so it is £300 a year cheaper than the equivalent 3 series. Insurance is cheap too!
I know this is a 'what you had before' thread, but here's a picture of 'what I have now' (have an E89 aswell):D

Now that’s ideal! Because the government deemed them too small in numbers to individually bracket, they just end up on a generic pile. Sometimes the system can work to your advantage it seems :thumbsup:

Lovely B3 that, it continues to amaze me how Alpina manage to create an instantly recognisable and individual look with relatively small and few changes
 
To name just a few, MR2 mk1, MR2 mk2, 106 rallye, 306 S16, E46 328, Yaris Tsport and a few boring cars.

Owned this for the last 12 years before buying the Z4:

This was my gift to myself at forty , kept it for 3 years , what a superbly crafted thing , sounded absolutely amazing at full chat !!!!! I tried many different cars ie 911 R8 and various mercs and BMWs none felt as special as the aston did by some margin.
And yes I wished I’d never sold it !!!

My first Sunday Toy which I bought in 1999 sold it 2009 or roundabout. It’s was fantastic fun, I had it bored out to 1480cc with a twin choke Weber, great fun on the Sprint track, and pretty quick up to 70mph
