E91 Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo - A slight downgrade

[Waitey]

Anymore on this squire?

6000 miles done, 49.8mpg. No centre caps, not washed it either. Its mega.

Who the f**k waves at a silver 325d??

Dunno...

Mines a half purple Alpina. Gets loads of attention compared to the RS3.

Any date for the painting. Its the end of the month.

Cancelled it. I'll get it done just before I sell it. No point to do it then do 20k in it and wreck it!

 

[Ian_182]

That's true.

Dirt hides purple anyway. Never wash it

Taken it to its natural habitat today in Leeds. It's currently parked with all the curry house Rolls Royce's.

To be fair, people did photograph the RS3 from stolen cars.

I saw a blue saloon one of these yesterday, sadly it had been 'badmanz'd up'

Very good looking car!

 

[Scrooge]

That does look awesome from the front

I know it's not a Bi-turbo (and it's in Birmingham) but this looks fairly cheap.

It is cheap. But the bi turbo engine is so much nicer!

Looks great covered it sh*t actually. What's the deal with no centre caps?

They rattle like f**k and I took them off then kinda forgot.

It rolled over 80000 today too.

It's weird that you say that. My colleague used to have the exact same issue! He ended up using double-sided tape to pad them out.

 

[Waitey]

I've relented and washed it after 10000 miles.

A customer commented there was mold on the outside and that's not a good look.

Centre caps are back too!

 

[Daz...]

That purple!

 

[Herr Flick]

Lol. I'd paint the whole car like that. I think the purple/silver looks great.

I agree, it looks cool.

Lol, it'd be a right bender bus then!

TBH it doesn't look like that in real life, the iPhone made it look pearlescent!

 

[charltjr]

Centre cap rattles are a common issue on those, it's been a while but if I remember right they're supposed to have little pads on them to stop 'em rattling but they often get taken off when refurbed or just through wear and tear. There'll be a fix over on the Alpina Register forums I'm sure.

And yeah, the original D3 is good enough but the BT engine is light years better

 

[Waitey]

Handsome bus!

I might wash it more often...

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks very Jewish racing gold in that photo. I like.

[Gally]

I do like that!

 

[cat171]

Me too! Purpley front end aside lol, it's really nice!

 

[Gally]

Barney shed!

 

[Cookson]

What is the spec of the suspension on these? Can you get the same set up aftermarket?

You can buy it from dealers. Lower than an M sport, rides better than an SE. Its magic.

I can get you part numbers and a link to a site selling it if you like?

 

[497adam]

Yeah great !
