If an M3 Touring wont be expensive or exclusive enough you can always buy this Alpina B3 from Sytner Nottingham

Lovely, but dont like white leather so I am out

(Its nothing to do with the £85k price tag, no sir.... £1700 a month on HP, bargain).

It doesn't look anything like special enough for the price to me. Budget headlights and it looks like no leather dash...

[Steces]

If I was spending that kind of money I would want my own spec, not somebody elses

Mind you Id go with Alpina Green and the wheels

[f30paul]

I'd have that over an m3 any day. Always liked Alpina

[RustyBitz]

Stupid money

White leather looks great until anybody has sat in it.

I'd be living in constant fear I'd just marked the seats. Jeans will destroy those the first time you climb in.

At £85k I'd want to spec up my own car rather than buy used. I think I'd happily build my own M340, in Individual colour, get full paint protection film and the ceramic coating, get it remapped, and then have a nice 2 week holiday in the Maldives, with a lot of cash to spare.

Each to their own though, the Alpina is exclusive enough I'm sure someone will buy it fairly soon.

The XD3 I looked at there (for fun, no interest in buying it at £70k) was about £8k less than list I think... I can live with something that I havent specced if near enough for an £8k saving.... And like you I would spec green, but probably not those wheels as the others were cheaper, and definitely not white leather!

Am I the only one who thinks that the aircon buttons on the latest 3 series look like they were lifted from an ancient Mazda 6 ?

Never had any dye transference on my opal merino and the cars on 60k. Lots of other issues around poor quality BMW leather but nothing to do with it being white

Edit - can't see what kind of leather that is though in fairness but Alpina's should have better leather no?

Love the idea of these but some of the design looks too bling for my taste. No doubting the engineering, but that chrome grill makes my teeth itch.

[kzg1969]

think i would rather wait M3Touring

[cramsnik]

Stunning colour.

You can also spec it in black.

I may be in a minority, but I like the Alpina look, even the multispoke wheels and big lettering. Problem is that you get nothing by way of a discount, making the difference between it and the donor 3 Series too big to justify in my book.

Plus (having driven a D3 a couple of years back) you get the sense that you’d need regular access to a local Autobahn to make proper use of the thing.

Lovely car, superlative engineering, ludicrous price.
