ALPINA B7 TURBO | Kicking off my Summer Break with a Truly Rare & Remarkable 80s BMW Exterior Wash

[@Wim1975]

Sometimes it is good to say nothing and only enjoy.....

[@RADGarage]

Yup, just enjoy the experience. 😎 There's enough noise in the world as is.

[@mjcapo1]

Prime example of an old car looking much better than modern counterparts. Amazing car.

[@RADGarage]

It was really the pinnacle of the BMW design imo.

[@joevanseeters2873]

After 34 years, that car still looks incredible.

It is a totally different league than every other sedan from that era. Might even extend that statement to include sports cars of that era!

80's BMW's were so cool. The new ones are great and all that, but they were so far ahead of the curve in performance and design back then.

Wow, I never even knew about this machine until now. Cool to see all the Alpina bits and pieces explained by Thomas in the end. I really enjoyed that short of piece of "dialogue"!

Thanks Guys! Watched with tears. You (I) just want to hug it. Car Guy Stuff. Sending link right away to my oldest brother as this was his era + with BMW. As always, Super RAD. Good Ambassadors for that one.

[@RADGarage]

I appreciate your support. I also understand your love of these cars. They are truly intoxicating!

[@KaluTopp]

I love how much effort you invest into filming, equipment and editing all of these videos(and 4k omg). Editing and filming are so precise so you can see everything, and really enjoy every detail on a car and all the products that are applied to the car. Really satisfies my ocd with detailing :P And this bmw e28 is on my bucket list for a dream car, so combining my dream car with your channel is absolute perfection. Keep up the good work, hope to see more classic bmws.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks so much man. Yes, I do put a lot of effort into the filming and editing of my videos, on top of the actual detailing. It is always worth it in the end when I get such awesome comments as yours! Take care and stay RAD! 🤘

[@Codriver72]

So many memories. Not of the exact model but of the era. As I told you before I was brought up in BMWs. The first was a 1969 grey 2002 and to this day my father still drives BMW. Thank you for letting us hang out in your garage with this car. For me, personally, it is very special. It looks like it is in mint condition, Thomas is doing a great job keeping it this way. The design of the rims is timeless. One of my big regrets in life is that I once was offered a M535i E28 but I had my eyes on another car at the time. I am glad I could hang out with you and your friends on the live feed the other day.

[@RADGarage]

I was so impressed you stayed up that late! Thomas and a number of his friends are the caretakers of some truly exceptional BMW's from this era. There's even rumours I will be hosting a 2002 Turbo in the garage at some point! 🤞

[@RADGarage]

Thank you very much! I am a huge fan of the GSF. As you saw in the video, it made quick work of any insect remains and had a satisfying level of thickness to it. What more could you ask for? I always appreciate your super supportive comments and feedback, Marius. Take care.

[@neilwalker5041]

Another beautiful production with great advice too. This car is amazing and still cool! As a former two cycle go kart racer I truly appreciate great handling cars to drive without a computer driving for me. You have consistently got great results from the Adams tire and wheel cleaner. How did you like the Koch Chemie snow foam? Thank you for the awesome video!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for the comment Neil. I have a hard time even considering using other tire/wheel products since the Adam's is just so rock solid and versatile. It really works on any level of dirt. As for the KC GSF, I love it. I have about five foams that I love and GSF is right in the middle of that pack.

[@janipod]

Great vid again and an unexpected one. I got a long suspended question and maybe you got an idea: over the past i got some moderate scratches on my rims which are luckily to remove with polishing. I‘m wondering where they come from, I use a soft wheelbrush and the only idea i got is that I pop some dirt or other small parts from the rimbase which get caught in the wheelbrush and then arrive on the rims. It is really annoying even id those small scratches are only visible if you sit next to the wheels. Do you have or had some similar problems with all those cars you ever cleaned?

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, those scratches must be frustrating. I am often baffled when I see scratches that lack any type of explanation. The most probably cause is contact with your wheel brush, but you say it is a soft brush. It sounds like your wheels have a very delicate finish. Perhaps you need to avoid contact washing altogether? 🤷‍♂️

[@janipod]

@@RADGarage that‘s what i think as well, very delicate. My rims on the stang are alloy wheels. Lately i sealed them so i have less dirt on them and no other dust or so cause i only drive it when its dry so i think it would be better now. That is why i thought about only to use rim cleaner and high-pressure them. The rims on my audi are really less delicate, that is what i also noticed. Thx for your effort 👍🏻👌🏻

[@ungerfrancis]

Great job great bmw ✌️💪 I have one question you use a lot of Adam ´s so in between méga foam and thé Koch GSF what do you prefer ? Have a great one and so long

[@RADGarage]

That is a very tough question to answer. I have about 5 or 6 foam shampoos that I always enjoy using. Those are probably my two favourites. I cannot choose!
