I think that the numbers are really great! It's a diesel!
Diesel is about torque. Keep in kind the mileage you get from the same tank and you will be thrilled. It is a wonderful machine.
Plus Alpina was always tastefully done.
Look I think the engine is great! The worlds fastest diesel comment is more a function of the top speed limiter than it is the engine hp though.

The alpina has its own value prop I understand. Again I was expecting hp to be a notch up from the M550d when I read the title is all I'm saying
