Now I decided to pull bumper and get re painted and cleared bra.
Will do angle eye upgrade and new fog lights when cover is removed.

Congrats Speedticket that was my old car I traded it in for the 2012 X6M that was in the showroom. Take good care of her!

Hi

Love the car, couldn't wait for the new m 5 and found your car, test drove and it was a done deal.
I will be using for weekends, and car events.
Any thing I should know about the care of this other that normal maintenance.
I can tell you took great care of the car as it looks and rides like new.
Thank you

Thanks! the B7 sure is fun to drive you can rack up miles fast as she just eats em up like nothing. I had the car regularly maintained at that same dealer. My power control module died right after warranty expired

go figure, so i replaced that along with a new battery and new micro filter. Also had done the 60k which changed out the supercharger belt new plugs and some other stuff. Other than that the car ran great. The only thing I wanted to do was change out the center caps on the wheels as they were fading, I've read its normal after about 4/5 years. I am one for modding as I did on my x5 and now on the X6 but for some reason I couldn't mod the Alpina, she's a beauty just the way it is.

Good luck and enjoy!

Yes the only mods I did so far light tints on windows and I am replacing fog lights with new as they are sand blasted and I polished up the main light covers and installed the clear guard on them. Looks factory fresh now. I am pulling the front pumper and having it re done also. Other that that I will not change anything else, and I have the new factor center caps for the rims.
While the number is off I am havering my rim guy re powder coat all the rims to factory new condition. This is one of 5 cars I have and it's one I've really impressed with. This is a great car to drive being a car nut I can take the family out and still enjoy the horsepower. Can't say enough about this car................

Thanks again

John SCAROLA.
