Yep, Alpina was an M62 with a five speed auto. Regular was an S62 with a six speed manual. I know which one I'd pay more for.
Alpina was limited edition with 550 world wide. Worth more than a 6 speed.
There are fewer non M Coupes than M Coupes. Doesn't make them worth more. I admit that I hated the Alpina though, so bias and all that.
