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!Barty wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 8:52 am 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
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
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!

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 seemsPondrew wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 6:58 pmAs 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.

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
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

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
