I have driven the B5, and i was completely blown away about how the car handles, with the rear-wheel steering. Magnificent car, i'd take over an M any day! Once you enjoyed an Alpîna it steals your heart forever, just like a women!
Hi Jurgen, now you understand perfectly how I feel. My video nearly sounded like an infomercial but how can it now?! And oh yes, they are heart thieves, just like women x
Hi Anna! Congratulations for the originality! everyone tried the m5 but few tried the Alpina. I went up recently in the m5 competition. I feel that the Alpina makes a lot less noise. Thanks for the video!
The Alpina B5 is arguably one of the best saloons in the world. Your Dark Horse analogy sums it up beautifully‼️ In Alpina green the tantalizing and iconic subtleties underscoring the prowess of the Dark Horse mystique is incrementally elevated to invoke a visceral appeal to the senses-even for those with an untrained eye.
Hi David, lovely to see you and thank you so much ❤️ The B5, even when stationary has such a great sense of superiority and power. But the moment you turn on the engine, it is again- another game. When driving, I honestly cannot describe in a few words. It's just how good it is. This in green with brown leather. A dream car
Girl on Swiss Roads You are welcome. Your channel stands in stark relief, in the most complimentary ways, against the highly competitive field of other first rate car enthusiasts’ channels. Kudos on your professional programing and amazing commentary-it is as informative as it is refreshing‼️
Happy 18mthversary Anna! What an excellent way to celebrate too! I'm seriously jealous of you, driving those amazing cars in that scenery and on those roads too! I hope that joy never fades. Please keep up your wonderful work.
Another great video, Anna! 👏👏 It's so good to have a woman reviewing cars like she means it- watered down females, following grey-ish company standards. The fact that you're a blonde with an accent, adding your personality in every detail, and kicking the ass of well-established dudes in the industry gives me hope that you'll inspire other ladies to do the same. Your work here goes far beyond just reviewing cars- you're inspiring, even me who always wanted to do what you're doing. Your passion for these cars shows through clear as Gin, and it's just as intoxicating. Your eyes shimmer and that inevitable smirk pops up everytime you throttle it, translating the experience through the screen better than any fancy editing tricks. Thank you for your effort and dedication, you've created one of my favorite channels to date.
I am the lucky owner of a terrific B5 Touring, not in green unfortunately but fitted with every possible option available. It truly is a dream to own and even more so to drive. The way all that power is combined with all that comfort is amazing and the best part is…..hardly anybody knows it’s a car that can outperform almost anything including Porsches and more exotic cars. I love my car and agree with everything you said Anna!
Hi Richard! And oh how lucky you are! This is what I love Alpina for. The discreet elegance with an outstanding performance. Funny, years of testing different cars, and my love for Alpina has not changed a bit. Well, it has actually, come to think of it. It's stronger than ever before!!!
@@TB7530 yes of course you can order them and there are a few around, just they are very rare over here and you never see them as stock cars in dealerships
I don't see many people reviewing Alpina, but you're selling it well. I don't know much about this brand. Is there lots of difference in driving between this and regular BMW? Does it compare to Rolls-Royce or Bentley?
Thank you treznorify ❤️It is a very different car to the BMW. I would say, besides the exterior and interior - these have very little in common. Alpina basically pulls everything apart and Alpina-zes everything from scratch. I'd say Alpina is much more focused on performance than Rols-Royce and Bentley. Alpina is all about handling, very precise that is, suspension being sporty yet comfortable in the comfort mode and acting like a proper limousine. But without feeling like a cocoon. Bentleys and Rolls-Royces are all about luxury, comfort, lushness and softness. I don't think many would handle such curvy and steep road, the way Alpina does it.
I love your swagger about Alpina Anna and i agree about your choice in green, dark green! I saw a dark green Alpina at the Chicago Auto Show last winter, it was stunning and ofcoarse the signature multi finned wheels, perfect!
The problem: One Alpina and you are messed up. The concept of wolfs in sheepskin is really appropriate here. Up to 280 km/h you hear only some wind (exaggerated). The chassis with the super sport suspenion is so wide and stable, there is nothing wobbling and slipping.
Thank you so much! It is a very very different car to the standard 5 Series. I always say, Alpina takes the guts out of a BMW and pretty much rebuild the car. The steering, the gearbox, the engine - a different kettle of fish! But it will be interesting to see what will happen with Alpina models now that BMW has purchased Alpina. Time will tell!
Lovely colour dress and nice choice of vehicle. Always had a soft spot for the Alpina alternative to the m5 since the e39 days and having driven one I yearn to test drive the g30 generation. Beautiful as always 😎❤️
Class elegance refinement, not forgetting stunningly beautiful in every way - enough about you Anna , these models are all just fabulous and always have been , only improving too Great watch and listen ❤️❤️❤️
Good Job Miss 👍 , man merkt wirklich das sie die alpina bekannten Eigenschaften erkannt hat , prollen ,donnern und aufdringlich sein sind genau das was ein alpina nicht nötig hat , und zum Glück eben ganz bewusst drauf verzichtet , einfach Alpina 👍
Thank You very much for this video. I am happy that You can reflect your unconditional feelings about the cars Which You tested driectly to us. So Have a nice week. As always I wish all the best for You.
"Fire under the bonnet?" Sure, plenty of as I can see, no doubt about, but: do you mean the car? A BMW is looking nice and itgs engine's nice also, I remember my 2 Bimmers, but: it's like what's used to be said for Fiat: you happen to get to know a lot of people - frequenting all the workshops along your way...
Yes, Anna! The Alpina is understated and very much a German “ Sleeper “.. Such Performance & the interior appointments! WoW 😮 Thank You🤙 BTW, usually one would see this German beauty in Washington DC on Embassy Row.. Yes, where many Diplomatic residences are located( with Diplomatic License plates of course ) .. Color? Ebony black on black!
Yes I love sleepers ! I have an Audi S4 with the 4.2 V8, the same engine as my 4200 Maserati coupe (just 40hp less) , and a lot of fun +the practical side... and when I park it in the streets I don't have to tremble that someone broke a mirror, keyed the paint or stole an emblem...
I couldn't agree more Chris. You got yourself a very nice machine ❤️ I also like to film such 'sleepers' - they do not create too much fuss and I'm usually left alone to get on with the job! :-)
Definitely a very discreet monster, driven one before, however wish it was more personalised inside to separate from the tradicional BMW, but must be nice to take on nice cars and disappear on the horizon....
Hola Anna. Immensely beautiful! What a great review! A plenty of sound since the intro, a precious sound 🎶 the best soundtrack! So nice that you have one of my favorites 😊👍 So rare in Mexico and in the US. I have seen few of them, mostly B7, in Phoenix, AZ. The B5 is an incredible machine. Doesn´t mater if it's the Saloon or Touring version, both of them are really gorgeous. This new BMW ALPINA B5 with the new 4.4 litre V8 engine Bi-Turbo with 608 hp and 800 Nm of torque is a spectacular automobile in all aspects. An exquisite interior and a very classy but at the same time sporty exterior. The Alpina Classic design wheels never go out of style. I can´t imagine the driving performance level. Supercar capabilities in a comfortable saloon. Fantastic, thats why Alpina is my dream car! As you well mentioned Alpina's green colour, what a beauty!!! Nuevamente, ¡Qué gran reseña! Como siempre es un verdadero placer saludarle Anna. Que tengas una muy linda semana 🌻
Alpina has always turned a good car into a perfect car. However, they are not limited to installing a thick turbo or similar, but they change the complete characteristics of a car.
How had I missed this? A real car - not an SUV - review 😂😇 A dream come true, indeed. The Alpinas are growing on me, I wonder am I growing old? This is a grown up’s supercar... 😋
Haha you see! Alpina for me is the ultimate supercar, so either we are both growing old or Alpina is all you need. Just the other day I was talking to an Alpina dealer. People are still not convinced. They need the noise and the noise to show off. Alpina is class, understatement, but oh boy, it's more than capable xx
Yes, I know, but a part of me enjoys the noise... If it’s the right kind of noise... Maybe that explains the itch that I’m not sure whether I should be scratching... (hint: R8...😇) Here selected BMW dealers (or maybe all, don’t know) sell Alpina as well, but they seem to be suffocated by the gazillion BMW models that seem to get all the attention - or is it marketing $$$... 😂😍
And so do I, but if you take the M4 (one of the greatest M cars ever built) and you take the B4. With the M4, you will have more fun, no question about it. But you take the M4 on a journey. Not only will your bum hurt but you are very likely to score quite a few images from the dear beloved paparazzi. Not that Alpina will stop you, but it's a little bit more refined and agrees with cruising only. Not all dealers sell Alpina, Alpina is saying they want to remain limited, I suppose part of their marketing strategy. And yes, it would take some marketing dosh to change that. They are also difficult with press cars, which I think is still a bit of that dinosaur approach. Let's make it hard, let's make it limited and we will become special and so in demand. But there is a fine line when people just get fed up. Just like a dating game! ;-)
With this beautiful vehicle you would be the torque of the town! Just wondering, do you own a cuckoo clock, or is that just one of those Swiss things you hear about but isn't true?
Ok great, I have a E63 m6 and F10 m5 but I’ve always wanted some time with a Alpina. I plan to do some reviews in the future. I’m definitely willing to travel to experience the roads you drive. I plan to reach out in the future, thanks.
I have the huge privilege to own a b5 touring for half a year : congratulations, you found the very right words about this extraordinary car. In the early 90’s the great Paul Frère said about the B10 (the B5’s granma) « Testarossa performance, Silver Cloud silence ». This is still the Alpina philosophy...
Hello Anna Alpina! Wonderful! It is a dream car (at least for me). It's not "flashy," just a discreet refinement. PS: I like her more than the "Red Diva" - Portofino that you tested earlier P.P.S .: I still think Alpina suits you better.
Thank you so much Chinook ❤️It really is such a descret machine, but those who know, oh they know! What it is capable of. I do love the Portofino, it's hard NOT to fall in love with it, but Alpina has got my heart forever
great review and you tell why you love the Alpina and I have to agree - excellent - did you say if buy this one, the color would be GREEN ha ha - that is my favorite color. 😍 😍
Hi Kevin, thank you so much ❤️ I can't express how much I love this car. Absolutely, green 💚 or even the blue is the way to go! With beige or brown interior. What a dream!
Hi Carl, I believe they are selling the B7 in America, but not other models, unfortunately. Alpina is keeping it unique, on one hand, I agree, on the other, hmm.
Been looking for my next car and this fits all the requirements and then some. I might just have to settle for the M5 if that is even considered "settling."
@@carljames5736 That is definitely a rather nice way of settling, Carl :-) If you have not driven the Alpina, try, even it has to be the B7. Just to understand what Alpina is all about. In a blink of an eye, you will have your answer. Alpina is not for everyone, same goes for Ms. But wow, lucky you, a VERY nice position to be in! x
It only took 30 seconds to fall in love with my 3 series. From your videos of the different Alpina versions, I don't think it would take anything past starting the car for me to fall in love once again. Sometimes you just know what you want when you see it.
Girl on Swiss Roads I pray u can organize them 😃 I just can't wait to see u with Ferrari once again. And u know u look sooooooooooooo very perfect with Ferrari 😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖
Bin ich schon gefahren, richtig geiles Geschoss, aber zu leise die Kanonenschläge vom normalen m5 fehlen einfach, dafür zieht dieser bmw ab das ist Wahnsinn
Thank you Jukka, so lovely to see you again ❤️I'm trying to get the M5, it'll be ever so interesting seeing the M car with 4WD. But you know my soft spot for Alpina! Can I be the judge?! x
Haha, yes Anna, you can be the judge, and I will approve whichever you choose between the M5 and the B5 😇👍 I think you go for the stylish B5 - so you... I think my vote would go to the M5 Competition, but only until M8 Gran Coupe is available... And until that I will be extremely happy with my M6 GC - looks like million $$’s... 😍
@@jukkarinta8670 Ciao Jukka, guess who'll be testing the new 8 series (M850i) very very soon ;-) And like this wasn't enough, it'll be on the race track. And let's also add the new Z4 ❤️
Can’t wait to read your comments from the track! I’ve heard the M850i exhaust - BMW gone naughty! Can I come too? 🤪 Well, I’ll get my BMW track session in early December, I hope there will be at least the new M5, M2 Competition, and M3 CS... Phillip Island, the only place better in Oz would be Mount Panorama. Which track will you be driving on? 😃
@@jukkarinta8670 Hi Jukka, oh but Phillip Island is wonderful! Oh, a bit jealous and yes, the grass is greener there! ;-) Can I come to? ;-) x Estoril track :-)
It’s really a pity, to see the politics of Alpina. They try to be exclusive but I don’t think it’s actually working on today’s world. I believe they used to have the B5 in the past, recently there was only the B7 left
@@AnnaOnRoads Yeah, I believe they sold the B6, don't know if B7 is still being sold. But I would die for a B5. It's just so much nicer to me than an M5.
'Class, elegance, refinement'....but enough about you! I love the car....a beast yet so practical. How many supercars can take five people and their luggage? You should treat yourself and your viewers to a tour of the three passes next....Grimsel, Furka and Susten. I did...once, and it was unforgettable. You just need to select your car of cars.
I take that as a compliment, thank you ❤️😘 I don't think there are many other cars out there capable of what the B5 is capable of. Oh, just driven the Susten with Levante, video coming next week! Grimsel is probably one of the most beautiful place on earth ❤️
the m5 is still more elegant , and more refined in my opinion , and it's still a better car , while retaining the most sporty look . the alpina just made minor tweeks to the sport leather steering wheel and minor changes to exterior for the engine , i do not know what they did ,but it's still slower than the m5 , so M > ALPINA .
Although the Alpina B5 is a simply stunning car (And the driver's not too shabby either I have to add!!), for the price, it makes the new M5 look like a bargain. Have you driven the new M5 yet Anna? :-))
Ciao Zanzibarbarian ❤️I have not yet driven the latest M5 so it will be ever so interesting to see the difference. However, I can speak about the B4 and the M4 - completely 2 different cars. The M4 is loud, agressive and very playful since it is a rear wheel drive. The B4 is a lot more refined, elegant, it doesn't scream as loud, but oh boy, when you want to have some fun, you certainly can, because it flies like a rocket! The new M5 is a 4WD so this will be interesting to compare! But what I can say about Alpinas, having now driven quite a few - they are cars for people like me. Perhaps 10 years ago, it would have been the Ms. Oh dear, maybe I'm getting old! ;--) I'd like to think about is a getting more refined ;-)
Girl on Swiss Roads - Age is only a state of mind. Think young. Feel young. Act young. And then in the evening, collapse into bad totally knackered :-)) I can't wait to see you in the M5. That'll be a great video. Not that your other videos are not great. As I've said before, your videos are something that other TH-camrs need to watch to see just how to make one. Your videos have a sense of total class from the aerial shots, to the music, to your commentary and to you to. What full blooded male doesn't want to see a gorgeous car been driven by a gorgeous and very classy young lady in stunning countryside? Keep up your excellent work. ;-))...
1st -nice grey keyhole leather driving gloves-this is new?2nd nice forest green dress-3rd amazing review as always-4rth-B-r-a-v-o for the GREAT video !!
Thanks Anna! For another good video. It must be great to test your cars in such a beautiful environment as you do. Then you have to have a more advantage, you'll get faster answers how the carrots perceive on the curvy roads. Anna What is the difference between ALPINA and M5? In Sweden, you can clearly not buy Alpina. Continue with your Yuoutube clips and hope you attract more women to be interested in cars.
Thank you Ingvar :-) Absolutely, I always test cars in more challenging environments, this is the only way to see how the car performs. Mountains, curves, rain. I have not driven the latest M5, fingers crossed I can get it this month. It will be ever so interesting as the new M5 is 4WD, whilst previously only RWD. This was a big advantage for Alpina over the M5, but no longer. In a way, these 2 cars compete against each other, on the other hand - these are 2 very different cars. Alpina is gentler, but it doesn't mean it is not aggressive. Alpina is also less screamy in terms of looks. Only if you know Alpina, you will recognize. I personally prefer Alpinas over Ms, but let's see what the new M5 brings!
Thanks! For your answer. I hope you will test M5 and that car manufacturers will soon invite you to test their new cars as soon as they release new models. You say you love Alpina BUT I've never seen a car that made you in love with Portofino. Waiting for your next video and they are worth waiting for.
I think she writes "dark horse" because all Alpina are meant to be "sleeper". The power is not visible but hidden inside the car. In 1989 the Alpina 5-serie B10 has beaten the Ferrari Testarossa with less power.
I have driven the B5, and i was completely blown away about how the car handles, with the rear-wheel steering. Magnificent car, i'd take over an M any day! Once you enjoyed an Alpîna it steals your heart forever, just like a women!
Hi Jurgen, now you understand perfectly how I feel. My video nearly sounded like an infomercial but how can it now?! And oh yes, they are heart thieves, just like women x
absolutely stunning and looking gorgeous in green
Hi Anna! Congratulations for the originality! everyone tried the m5 but few tried the Alpina. I went up recently in the m5 competition. I feel that the Alpina makes a lot less noise.

i have a BMW M2 and an original silver M3 CSL. want to have a drive with it would love to see if you make a video of it : )

For me the most underrated branch of BMW's. Great review!
I couldn't agree more Phoenix Intergrale! Thank you so much! ❤️
You are the real Alpina & ///M combined with 1200 bhp, girl!!! you stole the show more than the car
Class, elegance, refinement. That’s Anna
i think manufacturers should take her more seriously...this is a good review, better than a lot of those super egoistic car journalist
Thank you so much for your kind words powersliding ❤️I hope they will but it will take time, especially in places such as Switzerland
I purchased ALPINA B5 G31 in white 2018 in Japan after seeing this video!
Noise from B5 is unexpectedly awesome and perfect for long distance drive.
Happy 18mthversary Anna! What an excellent way to celebrate too! I'm seriously jealous of you, driving those amazing cars in that scenery and on those roads too! I hope that joy never fades. Please keep up your wonderful work.

Hello Anna, thank you for this great video. Great to see a BMW again and now even an Alpina, which is a very special car.
Good job, Anna. :) Are you planning to compare with E63S head to head?
Are you going to make review for M5 ? Waiting eagerly.
We just don't see the Alpina's here in the US
That's a pity, but I'm pretty sure you can buy the B7?
Alpina is in the US. I see the NYC private drivers with them.
@@TB7530 yes of course you can order them and there are a few around, just they are very rare over here and you never see them as stock cars in dealerships

great car, had B3 but I've missed the sound though
Why won't they sell them here in the United states I mean sure we have the all new bmw m5 here but I would Really want to see this car in the states

Haha you see! Alpina for me is the ultimate supercar, so either we are both growing old or Alpina is all you need. Just the other day I was talking to an Alpina dealer. People are still not convinced. They need the noise and the noise to show off. Alpina is class, understatement, but oh boy, it's more than capable xx
Yes, I know, but a part of me enjoys the noise... If it’s the right kind of noise... Maybe that explains the itch that I’m not sure whether I should be scratching... (hint: R8...😇) Here selected BMW dealers (or maybe all, don’t know) sell Alpina as well, but they seem to be suffocated by the gazillion BMW models that seem to get all the attention - or is it marketing $$$... 😂😍
And so do I, but if you take the M4 (one of the greatest M cars ever built) and you take the B4. With the M4, you will have more fun, no question about it. But you take the M4 on a journey. Not only will your bum hurt but you are very likely to score quite a few images from the dear beloved paparazzi. Not that Alpina will stop you, but it's a little bit more refined and agrees with cruising only.
Not all dealers sell Alpina, Alpina is saying they want to remain limited, I suppose part of their marketing strategy. And yes, it would take some marketing dosh to change that. They are also difficult with press cars, which I think is still a bit of that dinosaur approach. Let's make it hard, let's make it limited and we will become special and so in demand. But there is a fine line when people just get fed up. Just like a dating game! ;-)

classe ed eleganza come chi la guida .compliment anna
With this beautiful vehicle you would be the torque of the town! Just wondering, do you own a cuckoo clock, or is that just one of those Swiss things you hear about but isn't true?
Next Alpina B7?
B5 stunning.
Quite a rare car, thanks for the good review.
A very rare and unique car, Alpina produces only about 1,600 - 1,800 cars annually. That is for all models. A very special machine.
This is what we call a sleeper car..looks like a regular 5 series.You can go unnoticed but surprise, surprise!! supercar performance under the hood.
Ciao Marco, oh it is a big big surprise with a proper thunder! 💥❤️
@@AnnaOnRoads would you be able to do a review the new porsche 911..I want to see you driving that thing fast🤪
Could I join you on a Alpina review and give a US perspective
Ok great, I have a E63 m6 and F10 m5 but I’ve always wanted some time with a Alpina. I plan to do some reviews in the future. I’m definitely willing to travel to experience the roads you drive. I plan to reach out in the future, thanks.
pytanie zasadnicze: jak mozna wybrac sie na przejazdzke z toba taka furka??? ;)
Takim autkiem 😉❤️
I always love BMW, But Alpina B5 Biturbo is the best, I want to drive this machine
I couldn't agree more Ihsan. Alpina is THE best ❤️
I have the huge privilege to own a b5 touring for half a year : congratulations, you found the very right words about this extraordinary car.
In the early 90’s the great Paul Frère said about the B10 (the B5’s granma) « Testarossa performance, Silver Cloud silence ». This is still the Alpina philosophy...
Hello Anna Alpina! Wonderful! It is a dream car (at least for me). It's not "flashy," just a discreet refinement.
PS: I like her more than the "Red Diva" - Portofino that you tested earlier
P.P.S .: I still think Alpina suits you better.
Thank you so much Chinook ❤️It really is such a descret machine, but those who know, oh they know! What it is capable of.
I do love the Portofino, it's hard NOT to fall in love with it, but Alpina has got my heart forever
Portofino is the sweet escape from daily routine? Cheers Anna
The Green dress is the Greatest,best dressed lady on the planet, period!!!!
great review and you tell why you love the Alpina and I have to agree - excellent - did you say if buy this one, the color would be GREEN ha ha - that is my favorite color. 😍 😍
Hi Kevin, thank you so much ❤️ I can't express how much I love this car. Absolutely, green 💚 or even the blue is the way to go! With beige or brown interior. What a dream!
Love it. Thanks for that.
Thank you so much Kevin ❤️
stunning car Anna
It really is, Jason. In a way, it's simple, very understated but I think this is a whole new sexy ❤️
Great video Anna :) You know I love this car, but in touring form!
Thank you stubones ❤️And here is me, drifting towards saloons these days x
I'm sure a saloon of this size has plenty of family luggage space, but I can't help loving the Touring shape :) Have a great day.
totally agree, the Touring is the best form and makes it more unique because M5 Touring doesn't exists anymore
Wish there was a dealership here in the USA that sells ALPINA Brand BMWs. Would totally look at getting one. They are amazing machines! :0
Hi Carl, I believe they are selling the B7 in America, but not other models, unfortunately. Alpina is keeping it unique, on one hand, I agree, on the other, hmm.
Been looking for my next car and this fits all the requirements and then some. I might just have to settle for the M5 if that is even considered "settling."
@@carljames5736 That is definitely a rather nice way of settling, Carl :-) If you have not driven the Alpina, try, even it has to be the B7. Just to understand what Alpina is all about. In a blink of an eye, you will have your answer. Alpina is not for everyone, same goes for Ms. But wow, lucky you, a VERY nice position to be in! x
It only took 30 seconds to fall in love with my 3 series. From your videos of the different Alpina versions, I don't think it would take anything past starting the car for me to fall in love once again. Sometimes you just know what you want when you see it.
When u r going to drive Ferrari Enzo, LaFerrari, Fxx K, 488 pista spider?? I'm sooooooooooooo very excited to see u with Ferrari once again ☺
Oh fingers crossed I can organize them :-) We don't have press cars for Ferrari in Switzerland, which is a real pity. This was a one-off luck!
Girl on Swiss Roads I pray u can organize them 😃 I just can't wait to see u with Ferrari once again. And u know u look sooooooooooooo very perfect with Ferrari 😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖
Bin ich schon gefahren, richtig geiles Geschoss, aber zu leise die Kanonenschläge vom normalen m5 fehlen einfach, dafür zieht dieser bmw ab das ist Wahnsinn
Congratulations. First Swiss girl that's not annoying. Good video. 👍
Thank you Dejan ❤️Polish ;-)
@@AnnaOnRoads like you even more now. ☺ Greetings from Zurich
+Dejan Poparic Swiss girls annoying??? Are you serious?
@@Firemarioflower yes. I just proved my point, because you replied.
I like the package ,everything seems to be included.
And of coarse many thanks to Anna for report and nice dress aswell)
Thank you so much ❤️
I hope you can prepare your videos to be translated in other languages, especially Arabic
So the best of both worlds? Better than M5? There’s a test for you - back to back review of B5 and M5... Great video, again! 👍😇🇨🇭
Thank you Jukka, so lovely to see you again ❤️I'm trying to get the M5, it'll be ever so interesting seeing the M car with 4WD. But you know my soft spot for Alpina! Can I be the judge?! x
Haha, yes Anna, you can be the judge, and I will approve whichever you choose between the M5 and the B5 😇👍 I think you go for the stylish B5 - so you... I think my vote would go to the M5 Competition, but only until M8 Gran Coupe is available... And until that I will be extremely happy with my M6 GC - looks like million $$’s... 😍
@@jukkarinta8670 Ciao Jukka, guess who'll be testing the new 8 series (M850i) very very soon ;-) And like this wasn't enough, it'll be on the race track. And let's also add the new Z4 ❤️
Can’t wait to read your comments from the track! I’ve heard the M850i exhaust - BMW gone naughty! Can I come too? 🤪 Well, I’ll get my BMW track session in early December, I hope there will be at least the new M5, M2 Competition, and M3 CS... Phillip Island, the only place better in Oz would be Mount Panorama. Which track will you be driving on? 😃
@@jukkarinta8670 Hi Jukka, oh but Phillip Island is wonderful! Oh, a bit jealous and yes, the grass is greener there! ;-) Can I come to? ;-) x
Estoril track :-)
Sheer perfection..
Gorgeous dress.
My new fav car girl 😊
sleep snoopy right me too !
I wish we had this car in the USA
It’s really a pity, to see the politics of Alpina. They try to be exclusive but I don’t think it’s actually working on today’s world. I believe they used to have the B5 in the past, recently there was only the B7 left
@@AnnaOnRoads Yeah, I believe they sold the B6, don't know if B7 is still being sold. But I would die for a B5. It's just so much nicer to me than an M5.
I love it...anyway big fun...Alpina..
When can we expect a video of the New bmw 3 series G 20.i am looking forward to the review.
Hi Ronald, oh it will take a number of months before we get to test drive it. No one really know but I sure do hope it won't be that long!
BEAUTIFUL, the car not to bad either😎
Nice review 😊
Thank you Drazen :-)
I like this car
'Class, elegance, refinement'....but enough about you! I love the car....a beast yet so practical. How many supercars can take five people and their luggage? You should treat yourself and your viewers to a tour of the three passes next....Grimsel, Furka and Susten. I did...once, and it was unforgettable. You just need to select your car of cars.
I take that as a compliment, thank you ❤️😘 I don't think there are many other cars out there capable of what the B5 is capable of. Oh, just driven the Susten with Levante, video coming next week! Grimsel is probably one of the most beautiful place on earth ❤️
Great car. Awesome video ☺💖
Thank you so much debojit ❤️
They should bring more alpina cars to the u.s. not just the b6 and b7
Hunt the older ones. They're very nice too and keep good value
Hopefully the new B5 based on the next 2024 5 series will still get this engine for one last time
Please a little less back and forward with camera angles.
Other than that, nice video, and the Swiss scenery.. just to die for.
the m5 is still more elegant , and more refined in my opinion , and it's still a better car , while retaining the most sporty look .
the alpina just made minor tweeks to the sport leather steering wheel and minor changes to exterior
for the engine , i do not know what they did ,but it's still slower than the m5 , so M > ALPINA .
Wünsch dir einen wunderschönen Sonntag hübsche Lady 💚.
Deine Videos sind total professionell 😍.
Mach weiter so😘
Ciao Daniel, danke vielmals ❤️Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Abend xx
@@AnnaOnRoads
Dankeschön,
dein Deutsch ist toll 😍!
Dir auch einen hübschen Abend 😊
Although the Alpina B5 is a simply stunning car (And the driver's not too shabby either I have to add!!), for the price, it makes the new M5 look like a bargain.
Have you driven the new M5 yet Anna? :-))
Ciao Zanzibarbarian ❤️I have not yet driven the latest M5 so it will be ever so interesting to see the difference. However, I can speak about the B4 and the M4 - completely 2 different cars. The M4 is loud, agressive and very playful since it is a rear wheel drive. The B4 is a lot more refined, elegant, it doesn't scream as loud, but oh boy, when you want to have some fun, you certainly can, because it flies like a rocket! The new M5 is a 4WD so this will be interesting to compare!
But what I can say about Alpinas, having now driven quite a few - they are cars for people like me. Perhaps 10 years ago, it would have been the Ms. Oh dear, maybe I'm getting old! ;--) I'd like to think about is a getting more refined ;-)
Girl on Swiss Roads - Age is only a state of mind. Think young. Feel young. Act young. And then in the evening, collapse into bad totally knackered :-))
I can't wait to see you in the M5. That'll be a great video. Not that your other videos are not great. As I've said before, your videos are something that other TH-camrs need to watch to see just how to make one. Your videos have a sense of total class from the aerial shots, to the music, to your commentary and to you to. What full blooded male doesn't want to see a gorgeous car been driven by a gorgeous and very classy young lady in stunning countryside?
Keep up your excellent work. ;-))...
@@thezanzibarbarian5729 Thank you so much, your words are very special, a perfect way to end Sunday xx
Anna, people like you, don't get old, they improve with age like fine wine! As long as you enjoy life, what's a number?
This is howe a bmw should be.
I couldn't agree more ❤️
1st -nice grey keyhole leather driving gloves-this is new?2nd nice forest green dress-3rd amazing review as always-4rth-B-r-a-v-o for the GREAT video !!
Thank you Marios! Quite a new pair, I don't usually wear it as the colour is a little plain but it suited here :-)
is a nice color I think like the others that you have-you buy from the same shop and is the same trademark?
@@sedigep Yes, still Wittchen, Marios, very loyal to the brand
I’m in love 😍 your car and you 💕💕
Thanks Anna! For another good video. It must be great to test your cars in such a beautiful environment as you do. Then you have to have a more advantage, you'll get faster answers how the carrots perceive on the curvy roads. Anna What is the difference between ALPINA and M5? In Sweden, you can clearly not buy Alpina. Continue with your Yuoutube clips and hope you attract more women to be interested in cars.
Thank you Ingvar :-) Absolutely, I always test cars in more challenging environments, this is the only way to see how the car performs. Mountains, curves, rain.
I have not driven the latest M5, fingers crossed I can get it this month. It will be ever so interesting as the new M5 is 4WD, whilst previously only RWD. This was a big advantage for Alpina over the M5, but no longer. In a way, these 2 cars compete against each other, on the other hand - these are 2 very different cars. Alpina is gentler, but it doesn't mean it is not aggressive. Alpina is also less screamy in terms of looks. Only if you know Alpina, you will recognize. I personally prefer Alpinas over Ms, but let's see what the new M5 brings!
Thanks! For your answer. I hope you will test M5 and that car manufacturers will soon invite you to test their new cars as soon as they release new models. You say you love Alpina BUT I've never seen a car that made you in love with Portofino. Waiting for your next video and they are worth waiting for.
The best ASMR videos. Its your special voice and behavior. You should remove the music and mark them as ASMR!
What road is this
Klausen Pass, Switzerland
alpina is beatifull car . but next video can you nissan GT-R r35 2018
It is, Liro. Fingers crossed for Nissan GTR 💥
Girl on Swiss Roads hahah Nismo brutal 600hp l thing
I thought cars with "horse" in the titles where Ferrari's, what am i missing here..?
I think she writes "dark horse" because all Alpina are meant to be "sleeper". The power is not visible but hidden inside the car. In 1989 the Alpina 5-serie B10 has beaten the Ferrari Testarossa with less power.
@@pittpasc Allrighties. It would be funny if she wrote "Red Horse" - its not a Ferrari, but a cheap beer in Philippines... ;)
It's an English idiom, which describes something/someone who appears quiet, sleepy but suddenly rises to prominence. Just the way Alpina is.
@@AnnaOnRoads So in other word's your saying these so called "Alpine's" are experiencing way to many Avalanche's this time of year, is that it..?
