All that I can remember is that it isn't a M6! :lol:

It is a E92 Alpina B3 if I remember correctly. :thumbsup:

It is hard to keep up I know :oops:
It is, as Lee says, an E92 Alpina B3 (not an s) #159. One owner, full history, 42k miles. Lots of paperwork and seems a really good 'un.
I will let you know next week. :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

As we are in the same neck of the woods, you will probably see the glow from your house :D

It's black and auto (six speed 'switchtronic'? not sure who's it is. Probably ZF). It is 13 years old though

Thank you Mr T. She is doing well and if she doesn't start some ironing by Sunday we are going to fall out. :D
Five days is more than enough recovery time from a major operation, surely? Malingering tart. :x
