Hey all!
well, I have been rather crippled with the lack of broadband. Hence, hasn't been that active reading the board lately.

Stupid dialup...
Here is picture of Alpina B7:
Haven't seen any other model pictures. But do try to visit the Alpina forum at bmwm5.com. Post around there and I am sure you will get tons of replies.

So, why am I in Singapore? Family matters to settle. Should be back in the US mid-June or so. Haven't been back in S'pore for almost 2.5 years. And during which, my dad got a 2001 E38 728i (was E32 730i) and my mum bought an 2001 E39 520i (was E36 320i).
E38 728i:
Perhaps the most perculiar engine setup for a 7er. But yes, it can be found in Singapore. Believe it or not, it was available in 5-speed too. This car is probably fully loaded except for moon-roof (not a popular option for the humid weather in Singapore). Came with DSP too. Also, the car is equipped Electronic Damping Control!!! Wow! Needless to say, I took it to a winding road and the 7er negotiated the bends like a 3er. Though I wished it was a 740i.

(For those who didn't know, Singapore taxes car owners according to the size of the engines. Hence the reason why 316s, 318s are so popular here.)
E39 520i:
Ok, mum isn't exactly an aggressive driver. So there isn't any sport package on this E39. Equipped with Angel Eyes nonetheless. Oh, this 520i is actually equipped with a 2.2L engine. 170bhp. Not much to brag about in terms of power. Still the car handles like it should be. 16" wheels though...

And I am planning on replacing with Alpina.
Anyhoo, my first meet with the local chapter is this Sunday. Hopefully, I can snap some pictures soon.

And there won't be 17 year olds with M3, cos E46 M3 commands a price tag of US$180,000 (tax and misc fee inclusive) here. E39 M5 about US$300,000. Don't bother about Z8... :tsk:
A quiz for everyone. Guess the colours of the E38 and E39.
