I've been too busy looking under the bonnet in disbelief and sitting behind the wheel to notice any headlamps

Just when you thought the new M3 V8 was cool, Alpina was doing it 10 years ago

It's essentially the same 4.6 V8 they put in the 5 series B10 but with a bit of sump modification which loses a few bhp in the process, taking it down to 333.

The motor starts life as a 4.4 (from the 840/740/540) and is uprated with lighter pistons, a different cam etc etc.

am I right in saying it's LHD?  did they not make any RHD models?  does that cause extra grief with mr insurance?

OMG!

Definately kleenex material !

I looked into stickin a V8 in an e36 before I tackled the touring...kind of a cheaper, poorer cousin of the B8.

This clip of did it for me, awesome noise!

I'll take you up on your offer chas

Oh, and happy birthday

I'll need to view that clip at home but the noise is quite amazing (and I'm not a V8 fan!)

Your not a V8 fan?  I don't understand... I have an amazing video clip of a Corvette highly tuned that will change your mind.  This thing is so loud it would shake the fillings out yer teeth.  Lovelly!!

V8's are the best in my opinion, that's why I love the US.  As soon as you step off the plane you hear the rumble straight away even the baggage handlers trucks are V8's.
