Default Richmond VA Alpina B7 Delivery Pics

This morning I got up bright and early to take my e39 530 in for the pixels on my dash and to get XM Radio wiring removed from the previous owner. This was my first visit to Richmond BMW for servicing. So I drop the car off in the service area and notice the Ducati 1098 on the Mini side of the service area. I thinking nice.......I gotta get a picture. So I get out and snap one with my cell phone (sorry I know now I need to have the digi cam with me at all times).

So I leave the service area and decide to see what they have out on the lot. I look through the lot and notice there is a delivery truck ready to unload. I went over and watched just to see what was coming on the lot. The guys opens up the back and the sides, and I notice this trunk spoiler and wheel covers. I immediately knew it was a Alpina B7, and the center caps confirmed it was definitely Alpina. So I'm looking in amazement and the Sale Manager pulls up in a Range Sport. We shot the breeze and he informs me that Richmond BMW didn't have to pay for this Black Alpina B7. He said BMW had no where to go with it so they gave it to them. In the mean time they have a Blue one coming in the next few weeks that is already sold.

Sorry about me rambling, but I had to share this with you all. Here are some pics. Like I said, "Sorry about the cell phone pics. I promise to carry my digi cam for now on.

They're really popular here in SoCal. I've seen a few white ones and a blue one rolling around my area.

I should have, cause he sure did on the lot. No supercharger whine at all.

Weird that you said that, I went to the store only 3 exits away and saw this today:



Note: Non-California car, but this was in Laguna Niguel, CA.
