Oooh that sounds absolutely love. I'd love an Alpina, I'd buy a B10 3.3 but as with most Alpina's they are SE based :(

He wanted an M5, but didn't want manual or a harsh ride, so the b10 is perfect as it has slightly softer suspension and a absolutely gorgeous sounding 4.8 v8 with an autobox. :D Feels extremely weird when accelerating in it, you can see the speedo going up silly quick, but its so smooth and you don't really feel the g's.
 
I'd love an MX5, just not practical for me :(

The day I bought it, October 26 2002:



Think this was 2005:


Unfortunately its been off the road since 2007 and is now just parts for my other R33:
 
Surely the only change isnt the fact somebody nicked the Vauxhall badge? I thought I was pushing it with just wheels and grille!
 
Fox is your 5 series lowered now? Looks a lot lower in the second pic.

It's a nice looking car both inside and out, I can see why you'd find it hard to significantly improve upon.
 
My last project;

Although I haven't had any time for it recently so she's been laid up for the past 6 months. To be recommissioned once the CSK is finished.

De-badged and wipered

Since then i have got wind deflectors on, calipers painted and a new s/s exhaust and smoked rear lights.
 
Well, the Vectra C certainly looks a whole load worse de-badged at the back.

And what is going on with that front grille/badge combo? Looks completely out of place/colours clash?
 
grille/badge looks ok, but the de-badged boot looks awful:(

mchammer your wheels looked better before too.

Also recently added a nice set of S3 pedals.

Would still like to do the S-line front bumper/bonnet conversion and find a nice S-line spoiler but looking at £500+ for all that and that could be put towards a new car.
