Top brand tyres are a good sign of being well maintained.<br \/>\nRequires new rear brake pads but i will have these done so will be brand new. Brake discs are all good and dont look very old at all.<br \/>\nMOT&#8217;d end of November so 10 months left on that yet.<br \/>\nlast service was not many miles ago and the OBC is still showing 12,900 miles until next is due.<br \/>\n2 keys (although locking not working remotely &#8211; dead battery in key i assume &#8211; and 1 of them opens the car and turns ignition but doesn&#8217;t start it so needs re-syncing). c\/l locking working fine.<br \/>\nThe car is generally in good condition. Inside I have given it a vacuum and the seats, mats and trim are all in good condition with NO tears or marks to speak of. All the electrics including navigation, TV, heated seats seem to work as they should. The outside does have some small marks and scratches on the bodywork when you look up close. I have not yet given it a polish which will help (note: its non-metallic black). The bonnet in particular has some marks on it that i think wont polish out but as you can see from the pictures from a couple of paces back they dont show (large hi-res available on my website www.homelesscars.com). The lower part of the front bumper has had a couple of touch ups so to make this and the bonnet perfect you may need to consider a re-spray (about \u00a3400) but as you can see in the pictures the car does clean up well and looks great &#8211; i just want you to be aware this is not show car standard. A bit of love and attention will work wonders, and I can get paintwork done if required. It could also do with a set of new centre caps for the alloys. I have 3 in total but they are not in good condition and i dont have a key for them. The alloys themselves (the original genuine alpina ones) are in good condition with no major kerb damage although there is a bit of paint blistering inside some of the spokes. Ideally you would source the centre caps and then get the alloys re-finished to match but its not essential. I also noticed the drivers window is a bit slow to raise but this is nothing major. Again just trying to list anything i have noticed so you can bid in confidence. it is nearly 11 years old after all!<br \/>\nSo overall this is a great opportunity. It&#8217;s a very rare car and this is a genuine honest example which will likely appreciate in value over the coming years.<br \/>\nthanks, Richard<br \/>\nwww.homelesscars.com<br \/>\nBournemouth<\/p>\n<p>Date tested 2 November 2016<br \/>\nMileage 72,780 miles<br \/>\nMOT test number 8051 7989 1475<br \/>\nTest location<br \/>\nDENIZ AUTO REPAIRS &amp; SERVICING<br \/>\n24A GREEN STREET<br \/>\nENFIELD  EN3 7HQ<br \/>\nExpiry date 3 November 2017<br \/>\nAdvisory notice item(s)<br \/>\n    rear differential slight oil leak<br \/>\n    Rear coil spring corroded both side (2.4.C.1b)<br \/>\n    slight oil leak around engine bay<\/p>\n<p>Still registered 10\/2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Registered as Alpina for sale eBay.co.uk 1\/2012 45000miles, \u00a32500bid This is a 2001 BMW ALPINA B3 3.3 &#8211; number 418 Has only covered 45,500 miles from new, is HPi clear and has service history consisting of stamped book plus a bundle of invoices for maintenance which verify the mileage.
