Actually it is some production BMW cylinder heads causing the problem not the Alpina parts. Only happened twice in 5,500 miles and Alpina are on the case. Just returned from a 300 mile round trip - the B5 has to be one of the best cars in the world, and hopefully the rarest if you are not going to buy one!

P.S. My firend beat me to it. He got his Bmw (Individual RubinBlack) M5 before me getting my B5. He'll brake my balls every single day until april.

Just looked at your attachment (eventually got around to it !) interesting interior is that really Orange or just the way it looks in the photos ?

Cheers
