martyyn 2 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) Id hit it. [edit] Does it really need to be converted to RHD ? Surely its fits into the LVV criteria. Edited October 19, 2008 by Penry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr E34 11 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 They look good in the flesh, lose the new Alpina 20 spoke alloys. The BMW version is better with the 5 ltr M V8. Not sure why Alpina tinkered with this one & removed the M engine for their 4.8ltr M62. :unsure: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, have a cup of tea and a lie down and chill out, there is no need to get all worked up about it . I have deleted my post about it being RHD. There is apparently a loop hole in the system that allows the car to remain LHD, but the person who owns it must have lived in their original country for x period of time and must have it in this country for x period of time before they can sell it again.

Not sure why Alpina tinkered with this one & removed the M engine for their 4.8ltr M62. :unsure: I think it was meant to suit the auto gearbox better - I remember one review that said it actually improved the car.
