Well, that's kind of what it is, no? But I don't like Alpina wheels either. Too fussy.

Yes, Alpina needs to come up with wheels that look like they aren't from the 80s.

Chris Harris lives around there and outside of towns, the roads often don't have speed limits so a lot of his reviews are done on these excellent roads.
I guess I was wrong about the speed limits, I was thinking of the Isle of Man. I thought I remembered Chris saying something about living near roads without speed limits in one of his videos but maybe I'm thinking of something else. Last edited by Remonster; 08-29-2013 at 09:15 PM.. |

Chris is the man, love his videos. Not really a fan of Alpinas in general but the F30 is definitely gonna be a future classic....and Akrapovic is taking over!

Love it!! I wonder if Alpina would sell us that diff. ?
I take that Alpina just how it sits - wheels and all! I also love that Alpina has stuck with the N54 and worked its tuning magic on it over the years. I believe Alpina also gets better fuel economy than what BMW got with the N54 engine and the emissions are lower to boot.
