I owned one of these a few years ago. Cracking machine, hewn from granite. Lovely v8 soundtrack too. These are a superb buy now, as cheap as they will ever be, and they will only go up in value.
As for me, this is the next purchase on the list
Alpina make some great machines but they're massively overpriced/overrated IMHO.

A very sorted machine, basically a 346i, handbuilt V8 shoehorned into a 3 series with 333bhp. The ultimate Q car. £20k buys a good one.
