I Bought The Cheapest Supercharged Alpina B7 In The World - Project Chicago: Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ต.ค. 2021
- I bought a giant check engine light! That's right, finally Alpina on the channel. And not just any Alpina, it's the notoriously "reliable" E65 B7 with the N62 V8 engine. As you'd expect, it's quite broken and in need of TLC. Join me while we take delivery and inspect this 2-ton luxury rocket.

"What do you love about your job?"
Delivery guy: "Revving cold, broken cars into the limiter and see the owners reaction. That always gets me"
I cringed so bad at that! Glad you yelled at him. Seriously what was he thinking that’s so incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional
@@ubertalldude he was 100% jelous......
Hahahaha golden comment 😂
@@ubertalldude For real what the actual fuck? There's no way someone is that stupid he must have accidentally mashed the gas or something there? Like there no reason for him to even rev it it's not his car or anything.
@@JackRR15 My assumption was that he was trying to give the "battery some juice", not realizing that's not how things work. Still, no excuse.
4:20 Delivery Guy: So, you said the car has an engine problem?
M539 Restorations: Yep!
Delivery Guy: Let's see if I can make things worse for you buddy.
@@yahikovlog138 You have some nice JUNK IN THE TRUNK!....You definitely have 2 SCOOPS!!
sounded good tho
It won't make things worse, especially considering the fact that this engine apparently burns more oil than gasoline. But even if the engine was fine, it would be nothing wrong with doing that.
@@user-io5ld1zc1y Please go rev up your cold engine everyday for a month if it lasts that long, imbecille
@@henrik1743 The fact that you proceed to insult people for no reason actually tells a bit about who is *really* an imbecile here. But the thing is that I've been revving my e39 530 like that since I bought it and it runs just fine. Same with my friend who has been *flooring* his turbocharged car the same minute he started it, and it's been running fine for years.
But I guess you wouldn't believe that, I think you'd find more satisfying to keep regurgitating the myth that was popularized by people like you who don't know what they're talking about but they feel it's OK to insult people who won't buy their BS.
Hope yours goes better than mine!
You have prejudice against BMWs. Man can tell just listening you talk about them. BMWs can sense your fear or hate and ruin your bank account as a revenge.
It's crazy that hoovies was here and noone noticed
It did not
"Ten Liters in, for our US viewers, thats 57 gallons"
You got yourself a sub you crazy bastard! I am loving this!
I was shouting at the screen when the guy revved the cold engine right along with you, truly unbelievable..
Great to see an Alpina on the show though! Can't wait for all the repairs this car will need and already looking forward to the drive on the Autobahn!
Totally didn't expect him to do that. Properly pissed me off.
@@M539RestorationsYeah I can imagine!
@@M539Restorations I'd complain to the company considering it's a german company. at least to have it on record. even better if one of the people in the chain is a car guy.
I would have been fuming… how long had it even been sat on that transporter before revving it up from stone cold. Astonishing.
@@M539Restorations Why did he rev the engine? To charge the battery faster?
Your reaction to the delivery guy revving it cold is me in a nutshell, I actually burst out laughing because I would have reacted the exact same way🤣 Even when people do it to theirs or others cars it makes me shudder.
i could not laugh, i actually felt Sretens slight panic and anger
Especially since the delivery guy has no information on the history of the car. The engine oil could have been 5 years old. There could've been a bad head gasket, with oil/water mixed. The timing chain tensioner could have been bad, causing catastrophically failure if not babied. That was really, really unprofessional. Just gets me wondering what they do when no-one is looking.
@@XerxesGustav i rather dont want to think about what they do when nobody is looking. i also wonder, what if the engine would've blown up exactly in this very moment when he revved so hard...i assume his company would have to pay?
I would've turned the car off come back out and screamed back to him a BIG FCKKKK YOUUUU . I bet this mtfkr abuses his wife when cameras are off.
@@JJMk3 Exactly, a simple HEY HEY HEYYY would have been enough but like you said JJ he is an exactly that (what u said).
Catching up from older videos, I seek more of this immediately. The effort given to content is superb. I believe he is livin the dream, it's a win win. Love the channel.
Your effort to your channel is also great Noyan Abi.
What a surprise to see you here Noyan abi. I'm glad to see you here as a another high quality content creator who I'm enjoying while watching their videos:)

I was too shy to admit that I appreciate the E65 facelift as well :} glad I'm not the only one. Nice package, be brave, you'll need to be as it seems!
Avoue, même si c'est une merguez, t'aimerais bien mettre tes mains dans le moteur histoire de voir qu'est-ce qui rend une Alpina si...spéciale? Lol.
@@BXtremP ça m'a l'air d'être une bonne galère quand même. Pourtant le m62 de base m'est plutôt familier.
@@SmellsLikeGASOLINE Oui c'est vrai que je suis impressionné par le travail d'Alpina, en soit rien de spectaculaire, mais disons efficace, et pour le coup le véhicule est plutôt discret, mais reste bien loin d'une version classique du modèle de base, et surtout bien loin aussi d'une simple version rebadgée.
A man of good taste!
Allons Hedi, tu vas bien nous en trouver une toi aussi, je suis sûr qu'il y a encore de la place sur le parking??
Absolutely love Alpina's, something so cool about them. $4,000 is a heck of a deal, but let's hope it can be fixed! Looking forward to more Sreten!
The 4000 dollar check engine line is GOLD!
At 4K per Alpina, give me two so I have spare parts!
@@lancerichardson8023 Ahaha a relatively cheap check engine light I suppose
@@amammes Same here!
4 k în dollars, plus shipping,vat,handeling în port,etc etc,that is easy 11-13 k în euros,just to have it in Germany.
Lol'd at the parking sensor at 22:20
Looking foward to this series, was a great episode!
😂
Hey im a e65 specialist and know your problem by looking at the symptoms. Your eccentric shaft (valvetronic) has been worn out on both sides/engine banks as your throttle input is in fact the valvetronic motor turning this eccentric shaft pushing in or out the intermediate levers onto the valves creating variable valve adjustment. So everytime someone puts its foot on the pedal this eccentric shaft will be adjusted to the gas pedals electric position. These eccentric shafts wear out due to delayed oil service intervals. Replace the eccentric shafts on both sides with new needles from bmw and also the intermediate levers. The engine is starting rough because of a possible misfire due to one of the intermediate levers failing to make contact with the counter part in the valvetronic assembly. You can fix it temporarily by unplugging the mass airflow sensor near the right upper side of the radiator. When its unplugged the engine will run in safety mode and pushing all the valvetronic levers always 100% open/up instead of 0% closed. Then it wont misfire.
Thanks for the input! I found the issue, bank 2 exhaust side timing is off and chain guides smashed to bits. The eccentric shaft looks okay, not seeing any abnormal wear. If you have experience with the timing chain replacement, shoot me an email, might have some questions - m539restorations@gmail.com
Youre so smart!
Fantastic
You know your stuff..I own two e65s...you need a channel my friend!
@@M539Restorations mines is reading timing over advanced bank 2..🤔
"Why is he pedaling this early?" - Probably because his BMW broke down.
Where :)
for how ugly the regular E65 is, Alpina did a really great job, it looks so good
I think the facelifted ones in general look pretty good. They fixed the front and did a good job of "hiding" the trunk lid design.
Or maybe you were just repeating others without really looking
I think the newer e65 are nice to look at especially sport ones
yes e65 is an ugly car
@@RMFUNTIK so is ur mom
You won't be needing that new fancy lightning in garage with all those check engine lights glowing 😋
Keep it up, this and Misha's E34 will surely be great projects
The E34 will be our winter entertainment
Hahaha, dobraa 😂

Now you’re talkin Sreten, having spent 16 years with BMW and some of those years as a Master Tech, I’m impressed with your skills and your attitude towards tackling this level of vehicle. Keep up the great content!
1 day after publication, you have 230k views out of 267k subscribers.
If this isn't the mark of excellent content I don't know what is !
Way to go Sreten! You rock
4:19 The best moment of this episode xD
“That’s 57 gallons” 😂😂😂
almost :D
German gallons not us gallons 😁
@@adriano82mk1 liters 🤔
I def chuckled
@@adriano82mk1 you really said German gallons 💀
A man who even through the challenges or imperfections with a project can still get excited about what can be instead of what is and humble enough to inject humor into a situation. I salute you Sir. It must be why your subscriber list grows.
Working on cars is no easy task, your sense of humor and optimistic approach is admirable.
Thanks for these videos
The best TH-cam channel that exists, thank you so much for uploading such a great content 👏👏👏👏
Just when you think this awesome channel can't get any better, Sreten goes ahead and buys a monstrous Alpina.
Hehe, true.
Γουστάρεις Άρη μου;
Despite this one is the millionth video on this channel, happened to be one of the funniest episode so far. I'm more than happy that Sreten's sense of humor has not faded at all. And this B7 is such a beauty, can't wait to see it in its former glory.
Some helpful E65 pointers!
When you are changing the headlights, be sure to change the angel eye LED bulbs at that point if you plan on upgrading them to the more modern white LEDs, as the angel eye bulb is located on the underside of the headlight unit and requires the entire headlight to be removed along with the front bumper.
In regards to your interior heat, whilst the blower motors can fail, so can just the resistor pack attached to it which is a seperate part. If you are getting heat but no real fan speed, the other culprit can be the HVAC control panel which requires replacement. As you have the rear sunshade, be sure to choose the HVAC controls with the same part number as what comes out (as there is some bizarre difference).
You have the chrome lined door handles, which means you have comfort access. These handles are notorious for failing, which can also result in a battery drain. It's unusual to see them all sticking like that, possibly from lack of use or maybe Texas heat. The door handles come out relatively easily without having to remove the door cards, but you need long tools to unhook the handle latch system through the access port on the side of the door (theres a few videos on it).
You may find greasing them up frees them up. In regards to the comfort access, if you find it is not working on any door, you may have frayed cables in each handle which can be soldered back together. If the touch sensitive strips have failed, there is no repairing them.
Last time I checked, the comfort accesss handles are upwards of €700 a handle, so you could be better off doing a comfort access delete.
In regards to what you mentioned about the exhaust vacuum valve, i would leave it be. The valve reduces noise at lower rpms; sticking that valve open the whole time will induce a drone noise into the cabin which grows tiresome.
The CD changers in E65 models fail all the time, pull it out and replace it with a Dension Gateway, it gives USB/Ipod/Bluetooth/AUX.
If you press and hold the driver window shade button, all shades activate at the same time.
Whilst you saw no blue smoke, be constantly on the lookout for it whilst driving or on longer journeys. It may not have shown in your idle test, but it might show under different driving conditions. Do NOT use BMW stem seals, use Elring.
I used the Bimmerpipe valley pipe, 5 years on and still going strong.
Good luck!
Your comment scared me away from BMW’s a bit lol
Yeah, the point is - don't use BMW valley pipe. There are better solutions already, that doesn't require you to tear the whole engine - instead you cut off the original pipe and replace it with a extendable one. Way easier, way cheaper - same effect.
I physically recoiled when he floored it right after turning it on, I wonder how many cars he has done that to before
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge that’s fuckin retarded. like childishly idiotic.
that cumstain 1000% revved the car when he loaded it on the truck. I assure you.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge I've never done it to ANY vehicle, even a rental car. Anyone reving any engine when cold, should be IMMEDIATELY bludgeoned in with a blunt implement 👍
I blame the upbringing, some people aren't raised to value things in general.
I'd say, every single car. And he knew a camera was on him!
I have a 15 minute conversation with the CEO of a start up I applied to coming up, seeing there was a new episode up greatly reduced my anxiety and got me to smile.
Can't wait for the call to be over so I can watch this right after
I'm so glad you get such special cars Sreten! The engine sounds truly amazing! Can't wait for it to sing on the autobahn!
Great project. Very clear and methodic inspection and evaluations. Look forward to Part 2.
My favourite episode ever!!! I am over the moon excited that you have purchased that amazing ALPINA!!! I will be counting the days until the next episode. To me this is a car you can't overspend on!! Very rare and collectable!!
And he bought it at such a good price! Really looking forward to this one. We should start laying bets on how much he will have to spend on it. I don't think it will be terribly expensive....
Sretus Maximus, I can't wait for the day when you start building your own motors. People total Alpinas for valve seals because of the labor involved. Doing heads over is pretty straightforward. Many of the tasks you've taken on are as complicated or more so. Most peeps are scared to death of J-K-tronic but you jumped right in. I love it. You set a good example for everyone. Do your homework and go for it
I did the valve seals on my B7 with 137k miles. It was a PiTA but as long as your patient because you can’t hurry this job, it’s doable
@@1SNITCH awesome
This episode is even more action packed and zaney than normal, I love it. Such good entertainment.
Amazing video as always Sreten. This project is really really exiting, so keep them coming! As a car mechanic myself I love seeing the motivation and the determination you have for these cars, and I've learned a lot from you to be honest. They are small things, but im thankful for them anyway. It is a pleasure to follow your journey. Keep up the great content.
Take care. Huge friendly love from Hungary ;) !
I've nicknamed my neighbor "Loud Audi" because that's what he drives. Even on sub-zero days in the winter he starts his car and revs to 5,000 rpm repeatedly to warm the engine. The lack of mechanical sympathy drives me absolutely crazy, and I feel bad for whoever buys his once great S5 coupe once he's done torturing it.
I share that just to say that I too yelled at my computer when that jackass revved your cold supercharged engine like he was trying to keep a balky string trimmer running. Awful!
Great show, as always. Keep it up!
These morning revvers are telling us something about themselves
What are the risks of revving a cold (especially supercharged) engine? Does it ware faster or can you get a catastrophic failure?
@@thomasnowell its the ultimate stress for any engine, pistons are still dry and that high rpm reving destroys engine.
@@thomasnowell lubrication has been lost from most of the friction surfaces and joints due to gravity and the oil needs to warm up to thin out to get back everywhere it needs to. any metal on metal contact without that layer of oil is Very Bad.
2:27 "the hell is wrong with u"
"guess who's gonna rock Puff Diddly on the way to work???" definitely up there in the higher rankings regarding the best quotes said by any human ever...
I laughed out loud at that!!
I love that when you make a video its like a whole picture not some parts cut into 10 minutes without anything interesting on its own going on like some TH-camrs do
I have driven 325i compact for 18 jeans……….and still in love on BMW….. my compliments how you handle and repairing these great machines….. thank you for all the uploads…… greetings from Holland
oh man that truck driver gave me ptsd of a driver who told me he knew how to drive a stick trying to load my m3 on the back of his truck....i can still smell the clutch burning :(
Streten, in that bulletin they say you have to change ALL FOUR camshaft position sensors and the crank position sensors and reset adaptations. Now there is an update to that bulletin for how you reset the adaptions. In insta, it’s something with resetting the oil life counter on that. But it’s only in the UPDATED version of that bulletin you referenced. The only reason why I cannot stress doing all of those sensors and resetting adaptions is I almost put an engine in a customer car I was trying to diagnose for this EXACT issue. I checked timing, I checked the motors, I did everything. Car ran great too. But it would throw those faults and a fault for timing being a tooth off. I did all four camshaft sensors and the crank, did the adaptions reset and it was perfect. If I had work tomorrow I’d get you the updated bulletin number for that one you were following but follow that before you rip those valve covers off. They are a MAJOR pain in the fucking ass.
Thank you. Good to know! Will do that before removing valve covers. Edit: I found how to reset it with ISTA, will try tomorrow
I’ve had the fortunate pleasure of spending 2 weeks with a 2013 B7 that my friend lent me. What a fast cruiser it really is. Other than lots of little assorted problems, it’s main issue was eating wheels like PEZ. He had some wheel insurance warranty, and used it 4 or 5 times. Small bumps=Alpina shrapnel. Beware, and have fun!
I appreciate the dedication and time sunk into the videos :) the cut-aways and cut ins are funny and so it always brightens my day :) so happy i subbed a while back
Man, I want more! What a killer deal for that car. It has definitely made its way to the proper person for saving it from the scrap yard.
Seeing that all the US- TH-camrs carry these moneypits into the junkyard gets my hopes right up for this one :)
That said, it looks like the previous owner looked after the car as much as his wallet could :)
Or as much as it can be done
If I remember correctly, Hoovie’s Garage had one and sent it to J&J Auto Wrecking after pretty much exhausting his patience with it at the Car Ninjas.
not true, just as many people save them as anywhere else, here in the states, albeit E36, E46 M3 and M5 and 80's cars are most popular. I would say that holds true for most of the world though. Most people don't restore the drivetrain though, they usually LS swap and i can't say i blame them.
@Rockpport1911: That's because most of the US TH-camrs (regarding this type of content) are idiots.
@@legioner9 lol, I would love to do similar types of projects but it's just not worth it for me here. Aren't parts cheaper in Germany? Already have enough problems with my 400km GTI. Insurance is cheap...but if I get hit I'll get $2-3k max, if that.
As a fellow N62 caretaker (2006 4.8is X5), I look forward to your series on this car. I watch all of them... but as I will be doing the coolant transfer pipe job at some point (as well as valve stem seals, I do have blue smoke) this series will be particularly useful and educational. Thank you for the content. Best of luck with this project.
Sreten - why would anyone put a negative on here - Its Great Stuff you do, you even admit you have not come across certain things, and its new - most others would be gun hoo and says they know everything ! - you are genuine and honest in everything you do !
WELL DONE FELLA - theirs a lot like us who look forward watching your journeys progress every week - with new content.
We at IDP FILM know it's only a matter of time before you have a TV show aired - we know from Quest TV they seem to be taking an interest in this already - The Skys high Sreten - you keep going Fella - Just Excellent !
.
You sir, are a total beast. I’m still sorting minor stuff out with my e39 m5 that I finally got back on the road after 5 years, and have an e34 and e32 to completely go through after that. I can’t even imagine taking on anything else right now. I don’t know how you do it, but keep up the good work. I’ve definitely picked up some knowledge from watching your vids.
I really like your recent "vintages" cars projects, but I have to admit that, with that Alpina you have all my attention !
Pretty sure this will be my favorite project after the E60, this is going to be awesome!
Literally you are living the dream of most of the people that are seeing you, great work!!
I felt a sudden wave of pure hate towards the lorry driver for what he did 😡🤦🏻♂️. Like as if it ever helped.
Imagine how many asshat lorrie drivers do this.
Call Down he didnt know 😂😂😂
What are you talking about dipship
The humor has always been good, but it's getting better and better. Love it!
I'v just finished restorations of my E66 B7. Your videos are really dynamic! ^^
I love Alpinas and I love this channel. I especially love how mileage does not scary you! You're a good man.
I have a story about the E65 Gear Selector:
In 2009 I was working as a Technician at a BMW Dealership. Another Technician a few bays down from me had just replaced a Brake Booster/Hydroboost unit on an E65. Something went wrong, and the car had no brakes, or hardly any. He pulled the little dongle-shifter into drive, and the car smashed into his Snap-On tool box. He then accidentally got it into reverse (this is where it gets interesting) and backed over the lift arms, crossed the shop and smashed a Drinking Fountain next to the parts department.
I wish it was the one that Hoovies Garage scrapped months ago, but I know that came from Kansas.
That Alpine is a jewel. Im glad you brought her back to life!
The king is back. Yay. Love this project... can't wait to see you wrench on it
Absolutely one of my favorites. In Alpina kit it is a gorgeous understated mile muncher! Glad to see it being saved
Congratulations on saving this magnificent B7, the car is amazing. Hello from Brazil!!!
I understand that arguing about choises is pointless, but man, for me E65 is just GOAT, love it so much
Truly a leap of generations, I'd say this is a last great "old" BMW in terms of design
Thank you for working on this car, I feel honored to watch this
I've discovered this channel about few weeks ago, man i love it! Is one of my favorite chanel, i always loved BMW cars, they are my favorite but i never can't afford one. I remember years ago when people in my country they was buying E30 second hand from Germany and destroy them doing drift, burnout and all kind of stupid things, i was so frustrating seeing them all that bullshit and i couldn't understand why they was doing that too does beautiful cars. With the prices in this days for an E30 i will never afford my dream car but i am really happy to see somebody who can afford and can understand the beauty of this cars, put money and time to give them another chance! Good job mate, much respect!
That's a badass car. I truly appreciate you working on this, and I feel this is one you'll keep not sell. I look forward to the next installment!.
Watching your productions is truly delightful--I eagerly await your next one.
I’m so glad to see these videos doing well man. Keep them coming!
I agree. The stock window tinting is perfect. The tint that blacks out the windows detracts from the overall style.
Have fun with the valve cover gaskets, really tight job atleast on the 5 and 6 series. I had the integrated power module go bad on my 545i, it had a bad solderings inside. Also noticed when i had the 545i that the n62 is also very picky about oil quality and right viscosity. I had lots of issues with valvetronic and random misfires at first, then changed oil grade and viscosity to manuafacturer specific, fixed all vacuum leaks, pcv diaphrams and set minimum valve lift back to the original with ista. The coolant pipe is quite easy to change just remove wiring and intake and there is lots of space to install the collapsable coolant pipe.
Clogged oil feed lines for the eccentric shafts cause pre-mature wear on the shafts. Best way is to inspect the shafts for "grooving" where the intermediate levers make contact and the most typical spot is when the shafts are in idle position. But you have probably already researched that :P But good luck and love the videos :)
@@agnez8646 yes
His videos are getting better and better. And he is gainning followers increasingly fast. So happy for streten, he definitely made it!!!
Love your videos! Cant wait to see you bring this car back to it's best.
I'm not in a hurry to get old, but from now, to next time, time can only go too slow 🤓
It's always a pleasure watching your videos, because of the tremendous amount of work but also because of your humor.
😎👍🍻
oh man when he started revving it a part of me died...
I have always been in love with the facelifted Alpina B7... I hope that you plan on doing a series just like this... I must admit that if I ever find one that isn't going to break the bank, I would love to do exactly what you're doing!
Perfect car choice Ahoy! Full steam ahead for an amazing restoration! What sucks is that I've just binge watched all the other builds, so now I'm following up to date in real time. Boo
Funniest episode so far. Holy crap thanks for saving the day!
Complexity-wise, that's a pretty steep step-up from the E21! Anxious to see more!!!
Just finished the last video of the e60 m5 Playlists. Now starting with this. Earned a sub. Great content💪🏻
I like this project, it isn't something I'd mess with but I do learn alot from watching you tinker with it.
Best present for a long 4-day weekend! Thanks for the video!
Ah great to see an Alpina B7 been restored to full health by the genius himself. Every video I watch gives me a lesson or 2 or 3. So keep up the great work and i wonder by how much you cant chop off that 11k estimate. 👍👍👍👍
What a beauty! Probably it's the timing chain assembly, which is quite a pain in the backside too. So a lot of engine-related repairs on this project, which I love! Schöne Grüsse, der Nico.
I know almost nothing about cars and have no idea how they work + how to fix them. I absolutely LOVE your videos tho. Very very informative and fun to watch! Love this channel!
Truck driver: revs a cold engine like a lunatic*
Sreten: “Ima bout to end this man’s whole career”
Almost gave me a heartattack!
0:30 made my day!! 😅 And it's actually one cool looking car!
I just love your videos and seeing what a fearless mechanic will tackle....wow
Lovely car mate. Keep up the good work. I feel like I’m learning something every time I watch your channel. Good luck!
That’s the best looking e65 I’ve ever seen
26:36 Sreten, I'm impressed thet the guy, with the cleanest cars, and always fixes all things broken on them, then decides to have the dirtiest and most broken laptop in the world! Maybe, it's the evil twins laptop? :D
That laptop isn't a BMW now is it? :P
Much of the BMW diagnostic software will only run out of the box on ancient versions of Windows; I had a similar crappy old laptop running Windows XP that was dedicated to car diagnostics and similarly stained and worn.
😀 7:04 I can't believe he actually ate the paint! You had me laughing my ass off at a meeting!
Found your channel 3 days ago and can't stop watching every Project. Wow!
The parking sensor scream cutoff was perfect
There's this thing for people who enjoy early mornings as much as you.
It's called
Coffee.
Or Cocaine. That is what the rear seat trays are for right? Might not work so well in this beast.
Awesome video. I learned never to bring a car from one climate to another. When I moved from NY to Miami, Everything started leaking, creaking and cracking. Expansion and contraction is a real thing. I drove an SUV that had a small, barely even noticeable chip on the glass and once I hit cold weather, spiderweb! He should've sold it in Texas. Great find for you! Excited to see what you do with it!
What a beauty and for such a price!
Wonderful addition to the fleet Streten!
Awesome video Sreten! Can't wait for the next one! Lovely B7!
I like all the videos he makes he puts down so much energy and humor good work man 👌🏻
I am not ashamed to say I have watched this video twice. Didn't know I love Alpinas this much
OMG!
Love the Chigago project. My first BMW was a 745i. It was a fun project. In love with BMW since then.
Oh my, one of the last good looking beemers. Cannot wait for more on this beast👍👍👍😎
I had the valley cooling pipe replaced on my 2008 650i. The dlr quoted $9,000; I bought a legit collapsable aftermarket pipe for $900+$600 labor by moonlighting Master BMW tech. Prost!
4k for any alpina is like getting lottery, good luck with the project. Cent wait for next episode, subscribed with notification on!
A brilliant new saga is coming, and this time is an Alpina flavour! Oh boy that's going to be joyful to watch!
