Hi everyone,

I recently got my first BMW, my Dads always had them so I kind of felt like the thing to do. Of course I had to beat him and get something tastier :P I got an E39 Alpina B10 V8. It's in good shape mechanically but needs some tlc on the bodywork. I just lucked out and got cobone vouchers for valet and body panels at Zain, so in a couple of weeks she'll look like new hopefully.

She also needs a new set of Michelins. So far I can't find anything better than 6k for a set of Pilot Super Sports. Anyone got a hookup that could help me knock a bit off that or am I pretty much going to have to shell that out?

Thanks in advance and hopefully we can meet at an event day soon?

Cheers

Mark

saw this car on Dubizzle a while ago... beautiful specimen :)

[Napalm]

Thank you! Yeah there were a couple of Dubizzle. Took a lot of patience to find something I was happy with but I think this was a good choice!

Does anyone know where I can get the battery on the key replaced? If I can't find anywhere I'll get a friend to do it as I've seen the vids on youtube and it looks do-able. Just thought there might be somewhere that's used to doing the job easily. Sod paying 1200 dhs for a new one.

Had various fixes done on the car now and some panels fixed and resprayed. Here's the car in its current state. :)

Nice, wheres the centre caps??....and can you not get rid of that walnut trim, I have it in my M5 and its about to get replaced :rofl: look forward to seeing it sprinting on a drive....

[Napalm]

Car only came with the rear ones and they are a bit loose, so much so im worried they will fly off at high speed and I'll get tracked down after they fly through someones window lol I'll get replacement ones eventually but they are a ripoff. The trim doesn't bother me too much, too big a job to worry about for now. Need to have a meetup soon with everyone!!
