Welcome to the club and good to see a local Alpina owner.
There are quite alot of Alpinas here in Vancouver. I personally know of 3 other B10 Biturbos plus I see several B10 3.5s running around town. Yours is the first B8 I've seen here. I'm a member of the BMW CCBC and there is typically a few Alpinas that show up at the car shows and events. I try and organize a few GTGs with the E34 Biturbos now and then, perhaps you can come out too. If you want advice on local repair shops, etc. let me know. Cheers, Sean |

I used to be a paid member of the BMW CCBC, but I haven't been for a few years now. I still check on the forum every now and then, but there isn't too much action there.
As far as shops, I'll be going to Nixon for anything I don't want to do myself. When I owned a 850i a few years back I got in touch with Tom Carter, and for a number of reasons I gained a huge amount of respect for him. He says they are a good shop, and I've been happy with the dealings I've had with them for some of my previous BMW's. I guess I should get involved with the BMW CCBC again. It would be nice to get out to some shows and cruises to see what else is around and have a good time |

Yes, Tom Carter is an excellent resource and a heck of a nice guy. We may have run into each other before at one of his "wrench fests". And I love his red 850i
Nixon does good work and I've used them on a few ocassions. I hear you on the BMWCCBC, I haven't really got much out of it, but I do enjoy the German Car Festival every summer. |

Thanks Mark. I'll have to check that out when I get a chance.
I'm going to have to start being more selective for the forums I sign up for. I seem to be on WAY too many these days! It's hard to keep up with all of them and make worth while posts. Plus, I'm a Moderator on one forum, so I have to make sure I spend time on that one |
