1991 B10 Biturbo
Hello;
I purchased my 1991 B10 Biturbo in 2007 via a BMW enthusiast in Toronto. It was imported from Germany and shipped to Halifax, then Toronto, then Vancouver where I reside. 1991 B10 Biturbo #197 Alpina Green Black Leather (no stripes) 166,000 km Heated front and rear seats Power rear headrests Sean Last edited by quattro20v; 12-30-2011 at 08:27 AM. |

Hey! Someone else in the Vancouver area!!!
I see you have a collector plate in one of your photos. Do you have your car presently registered as a collector? How was the process of getting the car registered as a collector? Do you get much in the way of savings in insurance premiums? I'm thinking of getting my car registered as a collector, but if I don't get savings on my insurance fees, I don't see much of a point. |

Welcome to the club. Yes, my car is registered as a collector car. The process is quite simple, but the rules are it must be >15 years old AND less than 1500 wordwide production AND you must have another car registered with ICBC for work. You cannot drive a collector car to work or school. Your B8 should meet this criteria. Its a huge savings, I pay around $600 per year for full coverage. If you look on ICBCs website, there is a information on how to apply. All you have to do is take some pictures, fill out the application form, write up a letter explaining the low production of your car and submit it to ICBC. The application actually goes to an independent expert for approval (i.e. BMW Club of BC). http://www.icbc.com/registration-lic...ector-vehicles Let me know if you have any questions. |

Thanks for the info
I have read through all of the ICBC stuff before, but I was just never really sure how much of a discount I'd get for having it registered as a collector. I have a Land Cruiser that I use as my DD and will continue to use it as such, so no issues with having another vehicle. I wish I could get collector plates on my Aristo as well. Then I could have insurance on three vehicles for the price of two The B8 will just be a fun car for the weekends and probably driving other places during the week just not to work. I just have to get the fender repaired (shipping damage ) and then change the spark plugs, O2 sensors and fuel filter so it'll pass Aircare and then I should be good to go I'm guessing you only drive your car in the warmer times of the year? |

Hi quattro20v, you have a great looking car, I know your car very well from when it was imported and came to Toronto by Peter (from Germany), I am glad to see that this BiTurbo has gone to a good home and someone that can appreciate the Alpina cars.
