 |

This is a copy of an article I wrote for the BMW Car Club owners magazine “Straight Six” some time ago (although not the strap line) and which has just been published in their July 2013 edition, for anyone who is interested.

Is that a B10 in the garage?

Good spot, yes it was my B10 V8 4.6 litre, No 842, which has sadly gone and I still sorely miss the sound of that V8.

Hi Phil, pretty sure I recognise that bike, especially the Plate from the Good Ol' days of the Bimtoa Enthusiasts Club news letters...seen it parked up...but didnt realise which YB it was until now...Only clocked it as I have B1MTA number plate  |

You must miss the V8. I'm on my second D3 Touring. Current car is a Crimson Red 61 reg touring- only 2 in the UK according to Sytner's.
Love the Alpina brand- reminds a lot like Bimota. Owned by enthusiasts who appreciate something a little unique!!!

Totally agree I love the Alpina brand, it’s the exclusivity and bespoke nature which gives it such a similar feel to Bimota. Nothing beats the question of what is it?
Funnily enough I am on my second B3 Biturbo and the current one is a Touring of which only two were sold in the UK.

Ah yes. Yours is the space grey one. Very very nice. Discussed recently on the alpina register.
