Are you in for a commission?

That's why I said you obviously haven't owned an Alpina. They are not like that. Where's @PerryGunn, he will explain your mis-conceptions?

Join the queue. Wife first in line, then a good few others.

Yes you are Iain. You are probably THE biggest gentleman on this forum. You need an Alpina in your life! ;)

Never owned an Alpina have you Iain? Alpinas have always been "the gentleman's M". So much so they never bothered making the weird 2 seat hatchback version of the Z4. :poke: :rofl:

Well done. Good money IMO. You did take a hit of £4k on your original asking price, though, and it took 6 months to sell

Ha de ha de ha ha. :poke: :poke: :poke: :poke: :poke:

I will admit the stripes look a little 'disjointed' on the E85, so make them look 'wonky'. It does look a decent Alpina E85, though. And the money, for the mileage, is about the same as a decent E85 M. I would take the 'Alp' any day over it's 'chavvy' cousin. :poke: ;)

I really like the Alpina stripe kit on the sides. Looks classy IMO. I was going to get them put on my E92 B3, but didn't keep it long enough!

Any more people would surely clog the cabin up?

I can't read it any other way. Sorry for being dim. And I'm the one with an attitude? :rofl:

So "have we FINALLY landed in your area of expertise" wasn't a sarcastic back-handed compliment, no?

And there is no need to be feckin sarky! Especially when asking for help.

If there is enough refrigerant (gas) in the system, the compressor clutch pulls in but there is no cooling it is most likely the compressor is knackered. If the valves are shot it will spin but won't compress anything. The only other scenario I can think of is if there is a total blockage...

I am not the person to ask mate. I shite myself with anything over 20k miles and am scared of the N54. On the flip side, I would pay good money for a manual N54 if I wasn't such a wuss. It is a stonking engine and I love a manual gearbox.
