Thanks for the link.
I wish they would have used the M Sport body. I really like the updated simple digital dash. Lots of nice touches on the B5. Top Speed - 205 mph <- fuck that is fast. Last edited by Ab3_Fr0man; 08-26-2017 at 08:40 AM.. Reason: 205 mph |

But damn, those wheels continue to be hideous. At the same time, they're also a dead giveaway of Bx models. |

I agree, wish they had the M Performance front bumper. Even though they aren't my favorite wheels, I like them enough and you're right, they're 100% dead giveaway of Alpina brand. I have to say that I do not like the look of the seats. Probably good against stains, but man they look like neoprene seat cover designs. That being said, I'd drive this no hesitation.

I have the same thoughts. respect the company and what it does but the styling has always turned me off their products. ideal world would like their engine/ suspension in a msport package. not keen on their wheels or alpina lettering /stripes that they put on.

As I ride slowly on the donkey of time into middle age I'm actually starting to like the Alpina styling more. Although i would want it debadged with none of their stickers and would probably change the wheels eventually.

You guys are crazy! M Sport package and other wheels would be sacrilege! Only Alpinas that would have needed the M-Sport packages IMO are the e46 and e60. Either way, I would choose this B5 over the M5 in a heartbeat
