Today I am driving, for the the first time ever, an Alpina. The modified BMW, which I have never quite understood. So desperate was I to drive one that I got absolutely soaked in the process. So, enjoy.

Thanks for the review. I have say that I've been an Alpina fan for a long time as I can appreciate the difference they engineer into their cars, although to date I have not owned one. That may change soon though as I have a real itch that needs scratching in the form of a Roadster S. Alpina styling is so subtle and classy, they do just enough to make their cars look cool without being lary and in my opinion the E85 derived Roadster S is a beautiful example of this. It would be great if you could do a review on one.

I tried a D3 around 2008 it was the best handling car on country roads I’d ever tried up to that point. There were a few downsides : the warranty was only 2 years versus 3 on a conventional 3 series; leasing costs were significantly higher than a well spec’d 320 d touring (guessing down to higher depreciation); every boy racer looked upon you as someone who wanted a race. A great car though.

@luigicornelio7510 3 года назад

@s l they're built the same way, in the same factory by the same people. There are several factors: - Sulphur content in north American gasoline increases risk of injector and/or fuel pump failure - north americans drive the crap out of their cars, often without too much consideration. We also drive longer distances so cars get older quicker. Also our roads suck, unless you're in Georgia or something. - A different clientele compared to Europe buys these cars, often young kids who tend to modify and tune them. It's hard to find a clean, unmolested 335 (as an example, because I have one) with low km. - mechanic culture: while there's a lot of very talented mechanics that are very knowledgeable, there's also a big bunch of them who ended up becoming one because "it pays well". BMWs also need some special care sometimes and a knowledgeable mechanic should know how to prevent failures, bit just change a broken part. They are hard to find.

I own an Alpina D5 (F10) as a daily driver. It’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s silky smooth and fantastic for long journeys while returning around 45mpg, even running it around town it still does 38mpg. Slap your foot down and you feel the 700nm of torque and it’s launches you towards a driving ban in no time. Don’t know if any other cars which have this kind of performance and return the sort of mpg I get. Also, it’s only £210 to tax for a year as well.

I would rather go for a higher mileage diesel than a lower mileage, simply due to the fact that the emission control systems in place in diesels (Catalytic converter, dpf etc) only really work when up to temperature, so driving them lower miles (also assuming shorter journey times) ruins these components. Higher mileage diesels are the way to go, and this looks like a fine example of such a high miler!

Mine is on 292,000. Almost totally reliable for last 7 years, just one leaking diesel pipe at 290k a couple of weeks ago. I have had over 160 mph out of it. I love driving it, only gripe is i wish it had more steering feel like from an E91. If you get the cat and dpf unblocked plus deactivate the EGR it helps turbo responce low down and fuel consumption improves a lot. Before i used to get high 40s mpg on a run, now its mid 50s and even low 60s mpg is possible if you drive it at 65 to 70 mph in 8th gear. Which is incredible mpg for such a quick car.

I had two F30 320ds both company cars did 120k in each over 5.5 years so 240k in total. Had to change discs and pads on both but that was it. Now got a G30 530e running well also.

Whats the mpg like in the 530e compared to the 320d

@chrisburton4694 3 года назад

@@Taylor40667 first 320d can’t overly remember second one was the efficient dynamics version and 54mpg average was easy, 530e 44mpg is where I’m at. Company car tax saving was the changer for me

I think a large sunroof is nicer on a rainy day, gets loads of light in the car without all the heat ;)

A car with over 200000 miles will always ride a bit harsh. I’m sure it hasn’t had all suspension bearings replaced. Also the difference between sport and comfort mode gets less defined once you’ve got some play in the joints. Still a very lovely machine.

Please do a rant about Bristol cars too. That would be a home run after McLaren and Lotus.

@@edword7195 They are, sort of... the company was declared officially bankrupt in late 2019 - early 2020 I believe and had its assets liquidated in mid 2020, there was a lot that was kept under wraps but when we were at the auction of their assets there was a collection of multiple, unfinished Bristol's (based on a Morgan aero chassis with a BMW v8 variant) that were up for private negotiation along with rights to the Bristol cars name and a few other bits. I can't say for sure who they ended up being sold to however I did notice a while back that an entrepreneur has taken on the brand and is planning to revive it. Its probably a safe bet that he purchased the unfinished cars along with the rights and is planning to finish them off. I've also seen various adds for 2021 continuations of the Bristol fighter on car and classic, that will supposedly be a 1:1 perfect remake of the original
