"Good service history"

Owned by current keeper since 2009 up until then it had perfect service history but since, as far as I can tell from the information and photos of services and invoices provided the last service was in 2020 and the one before that in 2009, with the invoices in between being for repairs rather than services. Not sure how a 10 year gap in service followed by a further 5 year gap is considered 'good'

540i
Alpina B10 badging
M5 number plate

This car doesn’t know what it wants to be.

I always thought that fake upbadging was one of the worst sins in the car world, an m5 badge, usually stuck on conspicuously in slightly the wrong place, on a otherwise bog standard 520 is the laziest form of faking it. (An 520 badge on a m5 is excellent though).

Doing it with alpina is even worse, especially as most people wont have a clue what alpina is - someone is trying to curry favour with car enthusiasts.

Very odd mot mileage history too, some times as little as 2 miles between tests , does it live next door to the garage ?

The badging is unforgiveable.
