Servicing schedule is as a standard 3.0 Z4 apart from an additional spark plug change at inspection 1, with even better fuel economy too.

I have owned this car for the last 12 months, but a change in circumstances means that ownership has been cut short. I wanted to keep the car and enjoy it for years to come, however this wasn't too be.
Although I find myself in this situation, I am in no rush to sell.

Since taking delivery I have covered less than 3,000 miles.

I have enjoyed every mile in the car, and it really is a dream to drive.

Photos to follow later.

Good luck with this sale Rich.

Which forum member is going to join the Alpina Club I wonder.. ?

 

[Mad Professor]

Alpinas must be fetching a premium now over MR's with similar mileage -is that actually the case now due to their relative rarity

I'm located in Somerset about 5 mins from junction 23 or 24 on the M5.

I haven't advertised anywhere else yet. I'm not a member at the register so haven't advertised there either.

Hi Rich,

A superb read and write up with photos which is really appreciated. I am hoping the keep the car as a classic. I have done some detailing, new tyres and steering tune up. I am local to you so you will not be seeing things if you see it on the road.

Appreciate your pre ownership work and forum updates.

Cheers
