Alpina Market Watch

So mine is up for sale. Reasons on advert are totally true! Just don't want to do the mileage on it. Love the car and there's nothing wrong with it. Get daily compliments.

Their values went up like a firework around 3-4 yrs years ago , stands to reason they will see the biggest correction across the Z market , they reached ridiculous levels imo :cry: if there are 10 currently for sale isn't that around 20% of UK cars :o you don't see 100 ZMRs for sale right now :wink:

10 equates to 6% of the RHD cars Andy... if it was 20% there would only have been 50 UK cars....

Decent cars with good provenance are still selling relatively quickly, through the back channels I know of a few that have sold privately for very strong money over the last year or so without even being widely advertised.

That said there are 15-20 that keep reappearing for sale, either privately or at various dealers - and reports from people who have been and viewed them indicate that they look a lot better in the ads than they do in person...
 
Wasn't sure on exact UK numbers but regardless of that in past few years there have been cars sold around the £20k mark not particularly low miles either :( I wouldn't want to be holding those logbooks for the next few years :cry:

Yep, only been following since last September. It is the same few cars cycling around :-/
 
I'm not sure mine could be considered "cycling around". The guy before me had it for 5 years, before him about 5 years and Simon/Jasmin LeBon. I'm selling because I am driving it way too much.

Was your old one Red?
 
Yes my old one was a red Lux #344
So one of the last ones.

It’s still around but seems from the mot records that it’s tucked up in a collection as done relatively few miles since...
 
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classi...-location=at_cars&radius=1500&make=BMW&page=1

No servicing history prior to 2014, no logbook/service book. Unsure if running in service was performed.

The Dealer that it was bought from (High Wickham) is out of business. Thus they claim they thus cannot obtain records

Romans own the car, hence cannot get in touch with old owner (I would imagine would be a cinch to find the running in service from credit card payment).

1. Does BMW not keep a central store of service records?

2. Any kind of inspection that could provide peace of mind?

3. Should I just walk away?
 
Is it worth giving the service department at Sytners Nottingham a call? After all they are the Uk importers for Alpina and may have some or more info than most. All ways worth a call. :)
 
Hi,

I am the current (3rd) owner of #339 Roadster S Lux in Alpina Blue and will be looking to sell shortly (I've owned it since 2011).

All recently serviced, bodywork decent, wheels refurbed last year, everything original, tyres good Michelin PS2 7mm, MOT Aug.

I will be advertising early Feb after it has been in to have some work done due to either a sensor or loom fault which is stopping the roof working properly.. spend 5k on it last year for suspension and new steering module.. so all of the regular issues are sorted! All original stuff present including leather wallet, mats and the infamous wind deflector!.. servicing done by reputable indy and all records regular and in tact.

You'll find it on the Alpina register #339: https://www.thealpinaregister.com/Roadster/S/convertible/339. Currently at 86k miles.

Please PM here or on the alpina forum (Wobblewing) if interested, but won't be ready for a couple of weeks yet!

Cheers
Andy
