Just coming up to 10 years with my B10 V8 Touring, and just trickled over 150,000 miles altogether, with 51,000 put on by me.

How cheap are you willing to get rid of the metrics?

Spend pennies on the little relays and minutes wiring them in...

As has been mentioned; tramlining, full lock obstruction and tyre wear would be the chief drawbacks of 275 fronts. There were a few Alpina B10 owners who managed to make up square sets of Alpina 19 x9.5 all round on their E39's but I believe they stuck to 245 or 255 on the front.

Chester Automatics at Deeside. I used them for gearbox servicing when I lived on the Wirral. Top blokes who really know their stuff.

I forgot to say, those Alpina wheels are 19's, staggered with 8.5" at the front and 9.5" at the rear and a front wheel as a spare. The height of the front 245/35 and the rear 275/30 is just 7mm different so no ABS or other issues.

Hey, hey, hey, not all E39 Tourings had square sets of wheels, some were delivered with nice staggered sets...

Washed it, that's all.

I really wish I'd bought a couple of E32's now; as much as I love the quality, toy level and sheer capability of my E38 I do think the E32 is better looking.

Pics please.

After invoking the Law of Diminishing returns (£7k for the first auction, sub-£6k for the second) the owner of this car has had a brain-fart and listed it for £12,500 or offers... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223842684388?ViewItem=&item=223842684388

If you check this car ...https://www.alpina-archive.com/?p=13408&nmt=B12-5-0-034 ...and car 001 they have Alpina logos on the acoustic covers... ...but, another japanese import a couple of years ago didn't have them either.

Great collection OP; I've only got a couple of the E24 first aid kits and also a couple of the power adapters that plug into the torch fitting and provide an additional 12v round socket. Edit; Now I think about it I also have a bulb kit too!
