duvey 245 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Had a look over a genuine E21 Alpina B7 Turbo today. Is sitting in Burgers Motor Works in Wairau Valley. Awesome looking machine. He was telling me that the owner picked it up for around $10K not going. It is now going and worth much much much more than that. Wouldn't swap for my E60 Saw that too. Had an ogle. Let a e39 540 non-msport wagon pass me near helensville. He had a bimmersport sticker on the rear window. I think it was silver. I was in a '96 mitsi station wagon lol. Someone here?

Also - from a personal point of view - my cars probably reflect my abilities which are mostly form related (though I'm getting better with the function bit everyday!). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted October 27, 2014 Alan (the owner of the blue 850csi) just bought that ACS 850 with twin turbo setup from TM. He's going to finish it off for track/road. Reckon it'll be faster than his M8 replica rave car!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, what you thought was silver is road dust. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted October 28, 2014 Followed some idiot in a brand new 1 or 2 series convertible to the airport. They were struggling to see in the rain doing 70 on the motorway. Would help if you turned your headlights on.. Another muppet using just the rice rings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
