Doesn't anyone see the irrelevence of the alpina brand now that bmw has gone FI? All alpina is doing now is giving the car a tune and some aero/wheels, interior. Sure sometimes they are nice but for the cost it is no longer worth it at all.

Before they were something special. They made NA engines forced induction and supercharged. They turned an engine into something nobody else offered with a delivery of power that could not be obtained outside the m cars usually.

Now you can pick up a 335 and tune it to 400hp or whatever its making.

Alpina must have cringed when bmw went FI. That will likely put their company out of business for the most part IM over the next decade
