all Alpinas have some kind of strange history to them.
I am yet to find the first one that hasn't had at least one mad owner.
Price seems a tad high, but on the other hand, how many do you see advertised..
The leather is probably very light grey, same as my M5. Shows a bit lighter on pics.

hope your car is great. Its the nicest B7 I have ever seen ( remember OGP

) , and I hope you can keep it forever. The battery in trunk thing indeed is what caught my eye too, but with small car producers like Alpina, I have found that anything is possible.
