liking the coupe a bit more.. it's kind of funny to see Alpina versions of bangle designed BMW's.. I feel like the new BMW's have too much of a futuristic look for Alpina..

the fog lights on the front Spoiler look good. Not real keen on those wheels though

Amazing. I actually find it an even more attractive car than the M6. It's moderatelly tuned with different spoliers. however, I agree with most that the rims suck And a nice beefy 500BHP, should ba good test against the M6 V10.

Bit fussy IMO

A horendous spoiler, and the car seems a bit "under-wheeled" - the cab especially

I'd leave it, and go for the M6

But the Alpina B10 vs. M5.... i'd have the Alpina... a much less frantic engine 8)

I love the rims. True with alpina fashion!

Needs a manual though.

i like all bmw but my favorite is M6 why for god sake would you bought less powerful and on this alpina i like only the front end all behind is
and pay more....i understand buyers which want more powerful Z4 they just go to alpina and buy Z4 roadster S.
