What interior is this?? Its familiar and not all at the same time, Alpina specific?
'56 Coupe in montego blue. Or 'Herr Zippy Von Blaupunkt' as I prefer.

It's in a 2008 E92 Alpina B3. If I remember correctly, it is burr walnut (may be elm) with ivory leather. Alpina all over; looked like a gentleman's club from 1902!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Not sure if anyone's answered yet but I was under the impression Bilstein dampers had internal bump-stops?
EDIT: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/1 ... on-b8.html Seems they do based on this thread at least...!

I told Street earlier today; by far my favourite E86 on the forum. Love this thing.

No worries, good to have it verified direct from Bilstein, rather than hearsay from the internet!

Street, got any paint onto that bonnet and bumper yet?
Out of curiosity, what spec wheels and tyres are you running? I've got 225/35 and 255/30 fitted but your tyres look a fair bit meatier than mine (which I'd prefer for my next set). I'm even considering 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 for my next set (identical radii and sidewall heights front and rear) but that may be pushing it (8.5/9.5J rims). Happy to hear your thoughts on this

Come on you, keep up, it’s the one at the start of this thread
I toyed with this when Street was selling when he got his second and now you’ve said this I’m trying to convince myself that I most definitely don’t need it. The problem is it’s the best colour being green so the draw is even greater

Big week for me next week. Tiefgruen 2.0 has been on hold temporarily while I got distracted by a little silver number and held some money back for a possible purchase for her. Either way its all go again!

I went to collect the Tiefgreun 2.0 from the bodyshop yesterday after a month of excited waiting. I nearly cried..
The top coat finish was horrendous. The orange peel was so bad the paint looked like a matt finish.
It's had nearly a full respray. I've gone from expecting it to look pristine to feeling like every panel has been damaged.
The MD took it back without a challenge and was very appologetic. Its now being flat and polished and we'll go from there.
I hated leaving it with them. They are normally very good and the car was amoungst some super car company also in for work.
I dont know if it was a Friday job, "old car so that'll do" or trainee but I'm gutted. I just wanted to take it away and give it to someone else.
I have to give them a chance to fix it. Perhaps it'll come out better than ever now they know I'll be super critical.. hopefully better news to follow.
Anyone had a poor quality paint job? What could you do if you cant reach an agreement on whats acceptable?
