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)
