I just never find myself thinking... "if only I had a really fancy diesel car...."
Also can't stand their wheels. They remind me bicycle spokes or something. Just don't understand the appeal of these. :

I never was an Alpina fan. Some aspects of their cars I really like though. but 516 ft lbs of torque stock, and it is a diesel! these things are gonna fly with some tuning !

Their 'boring' looking aerokits are also wind tunnel tested, allowing the B3, B4, B7 all exceed 300km/h making them the fastest production BMWs in the world. Kindly note also that the XD3 is also the fastest production diesel SUV in the world and the D5 diesel super saloon maxes out at 278km/h. Why is this so is because ALPINA is registered in the German ministry of transport as a car manufacturer and produce their cars on BMWs own plant in Dingolfing. I too never liked their 'boring' wheels and aero designs but have grown to really appreciate this brand's philosophy, direction and exclusivity(only 1700 cars produced a year, worldwide). Simply amazing. |

Yeah, no valvetronic on N54 engines, so must be a modified N55. However the current Z4 35i and 35is both use N54 engines and are still sold in 2015, so I am not sure if you can say it is out of production. Even the Z4 35i never switched to the N55 platform.

They're nice cars and all but in the US nobody into BMW's is paying more than M pricing for a non-M car and nobody is buying a 3 series here for luxury. We don't appreciate diesels here either, and their fate has been sealed forever by VW Audi fuckery with the emissions scandals. |
