Professional is best on a newer car, just make sure you go to 3+ places, and use them against each other in the same way you would with car insurance.
Felt spec, eh? :)

Just don't photograph it with the front wheel in a river and you'll be fine. :)

Couldn't afford a real one tbh. If anything goes wrong with a standard (older) BMW then it'll probably be a bit pricey to fix, but not silly money because as far as I can see they reduce prices on parts as they get older; presumably to keep the older ones on the road and show off how reliable they are. However if something went wrong with an Alpina? I can only imagine how much it would cost to fix engine problems, or replace suspension components.
If I was to buy another 7 right now, it'd be this fella, or preferably a later one with the same colours and spec. It'd be mad given the economy, but I couldn't resist it. Yerman isn't interested in a trade though, in fact I'm not sure he even really wants to sell it.
If you were serious about an Alpina, there's a 750i on DoneDeal at the moment, and there's been an 840i doing the rounds for yonks (which tbh is never a good sign, like the Delta Integrales on Carzone). I'd say the 840's just the bodykit though, and you'd need to check under the hood of the 750i. It's a nice looking car though.
If I had to buy an e39 - it's not my favourite 5 series - it'd have to be a 525i or 520i at the moment. The economy, the economy... :)
Not strictly a car but I have a Transit T300 2.0D for the weekend. It's only savage altogether.
