I think it probably looks a bit like this, only requires a quick wipe over with Mr Sheen once a week

Don't be silly, it's an Alpina so it's got an oak panelled drawing room in the basement... ...along with the wine cellar, the picnic marquee and the staff accommodation...
This lowers the centre of gravity and improves the handling, on the downside it does make the steering slightly weightier, as Pondrew has discovered

Very nice motor, I do hope it doesn't look like a furniture store on the inside

A B3 is actually lighter than an equivalent M3. Mine isn't as all the trees add a fair bit.Flyingfifer wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 7:54 am I've always thought of the Alpina BMWs as the sort of fat, comfortable cousin of M BMWs

Nice wood mate. Total Alpine vibes and would look crap in an M3. Somehow looks right in an Alpina. Maybe IM getting old!

I've had to put my sunglasses on after looking at the wood to be fair!
I have to say that it does absolutely immaculate inside and out for sure.

Love the 2+2 seating arrangement, very classy, just a pity you can't drive it from those back seats..
A lot of car

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

Look to the south and you will see the glow
It's not immaculate, but won't take too much to get it back to that. I'm wire-wooling the inside of the exhaust tips ATM to try and get the burnt-on crud out. I'll start cleaning the leather next.
Nearly hit something in Halfrauds' car park earlier as I didn't realise it doesn't have front PDC (only rear).

Nice car and the interior is lovely... the wood looks great, nearly as much as the Jaaag, flat cap next?

Beautiful Car!!! Just like a woman has all the curves in the right places. And I even like the wood. You only live once and it seems you are doing it the right way. Best of luck forward with it.

Those exhaust tips will look awesome once you've worked your magic on them for sure.
It does look like a very well looked after example from the pics for sure. I'm really chuffed for you, and it is a super and lovely rare car I reckon.
Enjoy it.
