There's an Alpina in the house!
Woo hoo! OMG, what a car!
 As you can see from my sig, I've owned a few BMWs, including 3 7 series, but this is my first Alpina. 2018 B7. I picked it up yesterday from the seller, a very nice gent 2.5 hours from my home, who kept just fantastic care of the car, it is literally just like new with I kid you not - less than 7K miles on it. It has over 7K now after the drive home (where I got a stunning 30 MPG) and I love it. I was going to order a new M550ix but can't get an allocation, none of the dealers that have one in stock have anything close to what I wanted in options or colors except for the ones that were already sold, and so I started looking at used B7s but they all have more miles than I'm comfortable with or cost too much money or have accident history or all three. Yes, I paid too much, yes, the market is crazy, yes, it barely fits in my garage, and yes I don't know how to use half of the options (yet) but it is exactly what I want. Extreme luxury with stunning performance. Bad cell phone pic after I got it home last night. I'll wash it when it stops snowing this weekend.

I took this recent shot of our place after I'd spent the day working on the lighting.

Every car I buy I plan to keep forever. But I tire of it, or something newer/shinier/faster comes along, and they go. So, who knows? And no, I'm not sharing what I paid, largely out of embarrassment. The used car market is ridiculous and this one was at the top.

wesome car, I considered owning one myself but after owning five Seven series, I was ready for something else. I bought the G80 like you without a test drive but I just wanted to be in a sporty car after so many years in a luxury car. If I could afford it, the B7 would be in the garage beside the M3.

These america houses put all uk housing to shame! I have cousins in LA and NY and their houses are insanely cool. Mine looks like a tent compared to the 1st house above. Stupid uk gov with their greedy needs and parties Btw enjoy that B7.
