That car looks gorgerous.

Was reading autocar today and there going to do a test with the M3 and B3 Coupe. I love alpinas especially the old B6 Bi-Turbo!

On another note of M's a friend of mine took me for a drive in the E39 M5 yesterday...WOW...I'm amazed! Its lovely. I've never seen a powerslide let alone been in a car doing one but as of yesterday that changed Rolling with laughter Lovely V8 sound and I do hope the new M3 sounds as good as the E39 M5 Michael Potter

The E39 M5 was a classic.... RRUK used to have one before his RRS Thumbs Up

I must admit I'm with Kam... give me an M over an Alpina. I appreciate the performance differences, but the Alpina styling doesn't really do it for me. I wish they would change their wheels too Wink

For me it varies. I'd rather have in the 5 series B10 the M version because it looks a lot more aggressive whereas the Alpina is more mature I think.
The coupe does look really good but its still more subtle. I havent seen the performance figures side by side but looks and performance are the deciding factor for me and it all depends on these. I think Alpina styling is really good.
If you look at an Alpina on the road you know its an Alpina and you know that its probably going to be someone more mature driving (NOT OLD MATURE) who knows they've got that power under the bonnet but isnt showboating it around like the M Thumbs Up Mr. Green Michael Potter

I agree that Alpinas are stealth BMs... but I like the way that the Ms shout about their differences myself. Or maybe I'm just a big showoff Laughing
