Alpina and BMW have an agreement that prevents additional Alpina models being sold in the US. An M3 and B3 would be too close for comfort especially in price comparison.

Whereas the equivalent M is the mass produced designer suit. An Alpina customer knows that he won't see the same car on the next street.
