what do you make of them andy are they just a marketing excercise by alpina to go more commercial , would they be similar to a remapped 320d with a few alpina bits added on ?
If you were to do a quick back to back drive it might not be immediately obvious there is much different to a remapped car. But with the Alpina there is more to it to gaining the power hike and would give a confidence that the power upgrade would last and be reliable for many years. Also the balance and finesse with which the Alpina goes about it's business would be hard to replicate. It's not the fastest car in the world, at the end of the day it's still a 4 cylinder diesel, but it's a good one.Quote:

I see a 02 D E46 M3 cab every day parked in the multi story I park in in Limerick, I can only assume whoever owns it lives in the same apartment block as me, looks a nice clean motor on refurbed standard 18's, its a dark blue colour, not topaz maybe orient blue
Also has "AC Cars Dublin BMW Specialists' reg surrounds, anyone know it?
Yeah see that about a fair bit too Noel and found it where he lives, supposedly a mini mad house and do fix them up! Girl who lives beside him was telling me there does be loads of nice old school minis outside :cool:Quote:

Very clean and original looking E36 318ti. Was red and spotted in Leixlip / Maynooth early this morning....looked very well - credit to the owner!
Spotted her myself the last weekend I was down visiting ... Looked the job coming up from the bridge at what seemed like full tilt !Quote:
