SoobyDoobyDoo Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Personally not a fan, but it’s still a sharp looking car. I think (and I may be soeaking for more than myself) that seeing folks like you get cars like the tbSTi wagon kinda lets us live vicariously through you! Lol. Also see a lot of want in that place. That yellow Evo is callling…personally not a fan of the Bimmer, but if the back end were a little longer it might look a little sleeker. I’d be interested to see how it drives with the bi-turbo, I’m sure it’d be a blast. Good luck with your search! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 It doesn’t help that high octane (99 RON) that it needs, is now the equivalent to $11 a gallon over here in the UK. Running something nice as a daily is becoming quite expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobyDoobyDoo Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Yes it is…not nearly as bad here but definitely getting expensive. It to the point I’ve started driving my 1985 Chevy S10. 2 barrel carbd V6 that barley uses 87 octane. Not nearly as fun but much cheaper. Will that Bimmer do better as far as gas mileage? Another member from on here has a newer BMW wagon that seems to do much better on gas… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Well I couldn’t find the right Alpina in the end. Costs have gone crazy now in Japan and additional freight charges. I ended up getting a UK model and putting my little touches to it now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMA Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) It’s a 2.0 TDi engine, 6 speed manual gearbox, but most importantly, 450nm or torque. It also does 60mpg and can do 700 miles to a tank too. Edited January 4, 2023 by MDMA 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
