Hard to tell from photos what condition is like!

Saw this earlier as well. £19750 seems a fairly strong ask, particularly for a non Lux model.

What exactly does 'Lux' give you that this one doesn't have?

Hi derin100
Below are the differences as listed in the Alpina registers review of the car in 2004.

"The car comes in two guises: standard and lux pack. The lux pack costs an additional £3950, for that you get £5500 worth of extras: Park distance control; wind deflector; Isofix child seat preparation (the passenger air bag can be disable by a button on the centre console); Xenon headlights; Cruise control; Satellite navigation; bluetooth phone prep; 6-CD changer; Headlamp washers; ALPINA Leather dash and doortrims; multi-function steeringwheel; and ALPINA 19 inch wheels."

I think that the differences seem to be fairly minimal and as would appear from this car an original purchaser could spec the car to their tastes as this one appears to have cruise control but no nav etc.

Please do your own research and act with care and precaution when dealing with J17 cars. I have a terrible time when trying to buy a Porsche early 2018 so much so that I pulled out.

When launched, the extra £4k cost of the Lux pack included ~£5500 of extra kit

ALPINA wind deflector
Isofix
Xenons
Cruise
Professional Nav
Bluetooth
6-CD
Headlamp washers
ALPINA leather dash and door trims
MFSW
ALPINA 19" wheels

However, the leather dash and door trims plus the 19" ALPINA wheels were standard for all UK cars... but you still had to pay £4k for the rest of the lux pack

In June 2005, Alpina announced that, from that point, they were increasing the standard equipment to include

Climate Control Air Conditioning
Special ALPINA Extended Leather
19” ALPINA DYNAMIC Wheels
6 CD Changer
Cruise Control
Park Distance Control
Multi-function Steering Wheel

So, from the Lux-pack items, that only left

ALPINA wind deflector
Isofix
Xenons
Professional Nav
Bluetooth
Headlamp washers

so you got even less for your £4k Lux pack with the later cars
 
Thanks Perry. That's really informative. Mine is a 2005 car ('non-LUX') so it has all of those things i.e.:

Climate Control Air Conditioning
Special ALPINA Extended Leather
19” ALPINA DYNAMIC Wheels
6 CD Changer
Cruise Control
Park Distance Control
Multi-function Steering Wheel

But it also has the ALPINA Wind-deflector and the Headlamp washers. So, I think the only things it doesn't have then are the Xenons, SatNav and Bluetooth? I don't intend having anymore babies and certainly not putting one in the Alpina...but how do you tell if it has Isofix?

The ISOFix connectors are two small metal bars on the px seat where the backrest meats the seat cushion - but the obvious sign is the fitment of the px airbag disable option

I would have said so.
This is the third time that this car has come up for sale in recent years and appears to be from the same seller but might be wrong on that. It's first appearance on here was October 2016.

Looks a real bargain with the Hardtop included, photos look like it might benefit from a good detailing.

And it's the perfect car for Duran Duran fans as Simon Le Bon was the first owner - he probably needed a hardtop to protect his quiff 😂
 
Hi, yup this is my car I’m leaving the country so regretfully selling after 5 years of ownership.
I’m aware it’s a keen price with the mechanical history which is tip top and also included beyond the warranty work new vanos, dsc sensor, discs and pads, new battery, regular oil changes only with specified oil. ALWAYS run on Shell optimax etc etc. I can confirm documents pertaining to Mr S Le Bon. As to whether it was actually him I have no idea. If so It will add value, particularly long term. I’m not seling with that premise though! Drivers seat Lumbar was warn when I bought it. Last owner of 8 years was a big chap. (Build like brick 💩 house! Needs a refurbishment ulitimatly. Not so bad though!
 
I take it that you have sold it today?

If not please let me know, I'll be able to rent a car Saturday and come out to see you.
