New Deco's were either Gold or Silver. This obv's can't have silver..... This is going to be epic when I'm done......

Alpina just sent me its spec list when it was new. It turns out it was spec'd with GOLD deco striping. GOLD. Christ. I wanted to put it back to how it came from the factory. Gold is a bit of a push.

Like I said, its a brilliant job of painting it the wrong colour lol.

Pre 2010 they are a 320 motor with a 330d turbo and intercooler with 198bhp. After 2010 they have the 123d engine with 211bhp. The Bi turbo's are more desirable and command around a £3k premium.

I know nothing about speaker brands these days. Looking for: 2x 10cm component speakers 2x 10 mid range speakers Less than £80 would be lovely.

I don't know now. I knew about the paint. The seller said the wheels were fine, which they are, they just aren't prefect. The other little bits are just me being picky. It needs £1500 spending on it. Then it should be worth probs £2000 more than I paid for it. So no great money to be made...

Worrying thing is, the invoice has 'paid' stamped on it lol

Still purple when frozen....

300 miles to half a tank. So far so good. Job list is pretty long: Front Spray Wheel refurb 4x Michelins New speakers Leather treatment New 'deco' decals for the front New centre caps New side repeaters New lower grill Maybe new headlights.....

No they are in the front... Understeer, understeer, understeeer, boot full, driftooooooooo!

Tonight's update: 1) It drifts really well in the wet. 2) Wipers don't work.....

Bumper and bonnet and wings blended... It's a good job TBF, shame it's lilac.

I really don't want to. Its a totally different colour at the front lol. I found the bill for the spray, £1200 to correct stone chips. (And paint it the wrong colour!)

This is manual.

Cheaper than a 330d, better mpg and might hold its value better. After I've spent about £2k on it.....

I had my mate laughing all the way back from London at its purple nose.....

Wheels need a refurb and yes I need a new £100 centre cap. Annoyingly its get brand new budget tyres on the front, so ditching them seems a waste!

I've just ordered a new full decal kit for the front. More stickers!

I like it. It gives it an identity. Got a thumbs up from an GT3 driver on the way out of London with it. Seems car people like them.

Yeah this one will rev out to 5200rpm without dropping off. Its more revvy than my Mrs' JCW Mini.

Commuting in the RS3 was pointless. So its now with Hans to sell. I bought this because its a bit different. It needs some love, but nothing drastic... kinda. Its a D3 Bi-turbo, Alpina basically took a boggo 320d, swapped the engine for a lightly tuned 123d engine, changed the gearing, body...

TBF on Battlefield 4 online. With my old Xbox, if using a sniper zoomed in, I'd lose load of colours and textures. Now on the S its fine. So its either processing better, or my old Xbox was fucked.

Managed to sell my goosed Xbox on ebay for £89. Whoop whoop. Quite like the S, my old Xbox must have been buggered because the S copes with graphics far better.

Yeah I get the hardware message about once a day. It's been away to be fixed 2 times now. Time to give up on it. Slung it on ebay as fucked and the bidding is up to £60 lol

Mate my release one won't work unless the controller is connected by USB and the internet is connected by a cable, even then I lose connection every 20 mins.... Last night I was a c***s hair away from flinging the c**t off a motorway bridge.

Caved and bought a new One S since I can't cope with my old Xbox dropping connections all the time!

So you have three Volvo's.....

Same engine and drive train to my old one. They don't half go!

Esp when they paid £26k for it.......

Someones building a K24 one with a S2000 gearbox. Will have bodies too. Should be 300bhp n/a! Want.
