Hello

I have recently joined this forum and it has been a wealth of advice - thanks to everyone who's helped along the way or who has previously posted interesting stuff.

For those who may have had the boredom of reading some of my posts, I was originally looking for a low/mid mileage 3.0 Z4 for no more than £8/9k depending on gadgets.

Unfortunately I couldn't find much and when I did, I couldn't get it at a price I wanted so (and I'm sure I'm not the first to do this!!) I wondered what a few more pennies might bring. So I Thought Lux Alpinas looked very nice!

Well, I have just put down a deposit on an Alpina.... Doh!

Photos to come once collected.

Which one was it? We recently saw a black one for sale with 166k on the clock :o

No, not that one - went to see it actually. Not a bad wagon, but 166k is just way too much!!

Will reveal all once the deal is done.
 
I would love an alpina for a weekend toy ooh and a double garage the list goes on :roll: Pics asap :camera:
 
There a few gorgeous Alpina's for sale at the moment including the penultimate car made (#335) in red for less than £12k I think.

Either way, good luck buying one!

Car picked up over the weekend...

So far so good, touch wood.
 
Woooo! Nice :D :thumbsup:

Love those wheels. Also you need a stubby and you need to remove that carriage lamp off your boot, it will cause too much drag. :D

Yes, can't argue with that but the pressure distribution over the body surface exerts normal forces which, summed and projected into the freestream direction, represent the drag force due to pressure. The nature of these normal forces combines shock wave effects, vortex system generation effects and wake viscous mechanisms all together.
When the viscosity effect over the pressure distribution is considered separately, the remaining drag force is called pressure (or form) drag. In the absence of viscosity, the pressure forces on the vehicle cancel each other and, hence, the drag is zero. Pressure drag is the dominant component in the case of vehicles with regions of separated flow, in which the pressure recovery is fairly ineffective.
So, to sum up, with the carriage lamp drag is increased by 0.307456 and without you would lose this drag so increasing speed by 5.88678.
:D :thumbsup:
 
Think you got the best one there. If you get an older car it is much nicer to get a rarer one as it is more special than any standard 3.0 of that age.

First black / black I have seen though, always been Black / Red.
