Not the greatest shot! But got out and about in the sun today :)
At least you drove it a bit mate :p
Last weekend fitted a new official MK4 RS badge from RS Performance Store in France plus gave her a nice shiny wax finish!

Thanks it’s the B8. It has had a full respray and all rust removed and replaced with new metal.

Some may remember I’d only just bought a 540i but I’m not happy with the bodywork on that so thought why not upgrade.

not looked into the headlights but previous owner said they’re worth around a grand, there’s people with the clear willing to swap

I thought these were all B10s, regardless of engine?

The B8 was an E36 3 Series fitted with a 4.6 V8.

I meant V8 not B8 but yes lovely :D
Nice little upgrade for sure ;)
Got any interior pics?
 
Yeah, whatever it is :p

Definitely an if you know you know type thing as even some friends with nice cars hadn’t heard of Alpina, maybe they’re not car guys after all ;)

Indeed. Back when I had my E39 M5, the only thing I would have changed it for, was an Alpina B10 V8s. Sadly they were very rare then and no doubt exponentially more so now. Enjoy it!

I've added a boring old B7 Passat to the fleet. Has the extra practicality of being an estate and the lower cost of being a dirty oil burner (£35 to tax/over 400 miles on a tank). Being effectively disposable I can park it anywhere, use it for tip runs and transport kids (and all thier paraphernalia) with little concern about the mess/destruction.

Does mean the Jag will have to go though. It's lovely and comfy and handles really well, but look at the size of it, its huge! Plus it's just too nice to ferry kids in. Will miss it.

What spec/engine is the XJ? It looks lovely!
