You’ll never go wrong with an Alpina…. Had a B3 tourer years ago, now a B3S cab… very sublime, very underrated & what’s more important no two cars are ever the same in spec as you customise it to your spec 👌
Your Autobahn reviews are great, for me they show how good the cars work as a daily. And Alpinas are made for it. What I would like to see, and no one does it, is the acceleration WITHOUT any launch controls. Besides the 100-200, that’s the interesting number… For example the m440i with the mild hybrid makes it a perfect daily, for me, powerful and instant take off, even in comfort with active start stop. Then there are other cars, performing better in S+ … but till 5k rpm they feel like 180hp and their take off without lc needs seconds till they react.
Top speed is quite good, S engine in an Alpina is very cool, just hope it will be reliable. Only thing I would change is exhaust and engine noise in cabin, I think Alpinas should be more quiet.
Ive been saying for over half a decade now that the ZF8 is one of the best transmissions ever made and it took until BMW actually put it into the new M3 and M4 for people to finally catch on.
If you've driven a new M3 though, you'll know that it is potentially the weak point in those cars. It may be that some different software might help but it really doesn't work in an M car. Great in everything else though.
@@Simmsited236 I haven't driven an M3 but basically every single person on the planet has agreed that it's much much better than the old DCT. On the F gen M cars the DCT was not just a weak point but also prone to failure. The ZF shifts just as fast as the DCT, is softer (except for the Sport shifts those are brutal) and can also take way more torque than the DCT. It might not have as much soul if thats what you want to call it but it is definitely better than the DCT in every way.
@Datoda i suppose that it is subjective, but I've heard a lot of people say the opposite. Having owned both, the shifts are definitely, unequivocally slower than a dct but it helps make the G80 a better daily. For me, the zf, great as it is, isn't a focused sports car gearbox
@@Simmsited236 As I said it might be slightly slower but it's almost as quick as the DCT. Im looking at POV videos of F and G gen M accelerations and it's barely a noticeable difference. What I did see though was that some people just drove in Comfort or had the transmission specifically in Comfort and it obviously doesn't shift as quick in the normal modes as it does in Sport/Track. Also it shifts quicker when fully accelerating as opposed to not fully accelerating. If you dont floor it it won't shift as fast as it can, I dont think that was a thing in the DCT.
Thanks for this, having owned a few modern M cars that were just too hard and high in nvh, I agree Alpina build the better fast bmw. I just ordered an rs6 perf but an alpina b3 touring build is on my bucket list before ice is killed ofg
Been waiting for b4 video. -great job. My only criticism, was the Video was from a super high vantage point ( are you 220cm???) could not see lined of the car properly. But thanks for this great video - amazing daily!
Love Alpina I have a 2007 B5 . It frustrates me though as you can't purchase Alpinas in New Zealand . I had to import mine from Japan. I can buy a new Alpina in Australia but then have to pay luxury car tax etc so would cost me 400-500 thousand to ship it to NZ . Please can you contact the head of Alpina and plead our case here in NZ we want a dealership please . Hell I can buy a brand new Aston Martin here why not an Alpina .

Classy & fast - Alpina is AMAZING!
I admire and respect how your every video not only shows cool cars but also the politeness on the road and cautious high speed runs. You’re great man!
The old screens inside look so much better than the new big screen.

Literally 5 minutes before this was posted I was thinking “I wish someone would post an alpina b4 review, hopefully autotopnl”. Blessed my wish🎉
A 4-series GC with an S58. This is indeed an M4 for adults. Balanced, matured people, who have the money but don't care for the show.
I hope that this never dies. I like petrol engines so much...!!
I see a Tesla in your future 🔮
petrol engines are more eco-friendly than electric cars
👍🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻✊🏻
Man, I love Alpina. I sincerely hope they will continue to exist after 2025. Such amazing cars
What a delicious drive! What more is needed than this, combined with that recently reviewed A110R. Alpina + Alpine = 🏆
most beautiful autobahn run ever on this channel
You got me at “children in marketing department” 😂😂😂 My sentiments exactly and makes me wanna cry often as i have less and less to chose in BMW lineup

You are the real deal. Please keep up with your great analyses.
Have my Alpina XD4 for one month now. Just drove to the UK and averaged 7,1 /100km over 2600km, Great car, power and economical

Top speed is quite good, S engine in an Alpina is very cool, just hope it will be reliable. Only thing I would change is exhaust and engine noise in cabin, I think Alpinas should be more quiet.

With a real dash! Cool!

Dream car. Sleak, elegant, fast !
Indecent 👌🏼👌🏼
Coole Karre!

Sir, your pitch for the BMW Alpina, has beaten the BMW Marketing team hollow!! 👏👏 😅
6:00 what is that a V12?
Can never go wrong with this beautiful BMW😮❤

Looking good than a merk 💪💪
Incredible car, really well-balanced
that’s not a car that’s a rocket ship
Best looking BMW today. Drives like real sports car. Of course it needs space because it has real top speed. Big fat 10
Imagine you just cruisin' on the autobahn with 120 and a guy passes you with 310.. what the fuck.. can you even see him?
Love Alpina. Shame about the grill on this B4. I’m ordering the B3 Touring 😊
This is the private man's BMW. I'm getting one.
Thanks for this, having owned a few modern M cars that were just too hard and high in nvh, I agree Alpina build the better fast bmw. I just ordered an rs6 perf but an alpina b3 touring build is on my bucket list before ice is killed ofg
7:36 wtf bro lmao
so relaxing
Love Alpina! ❤ From the USA, hope you see this request, I would love to see a review on a E92 B3 GT3.
Been waiting for b4 video. -great job. My only criticism, was the Video was from a super high vantage point ( are you 220cm???) could not see lined of the car properly. But thanks for this great video - amazing daily!
So beautiful. By my fav is b7
This is the only way I'd have a 4 grand coupe. It looks so good, way better than what bmw offers
amazing how they managed to make the hideous 4 series look so classy 😮
I managed to measure with the dragy 0-100kph in 3,43 sec with my Alpina B3 touring. Alpina is really fast!
True Gentlemans car
I need this car in my life
7:36 no one complaining bout that?
😂
better with chrome front grill and alpina logo in white on the front lip but still beautifull
318kph! ❤
Amazing 🎉!!!
Why is engine cover plastic from V12 engine?
8:06 The website needs some attention.
I am not a BMW admirer but this machine is not only attractive and quick, but sounds wonderful.
Why you got m3 not a b3?
Alpina ❤❤❤❤❤
318 kmh on the speedo is ca 305 kmh in real!! And the B3 Limousine is a little bit faster because of less weight and better aerodynamics.
320 km/h can do. Nice video
I wish they sold these in Canada, we only get the B8 currently
You need to test a D3s 😁
It is so well settled. At 190+
Is it coming to America or Europe only
4:55 door handles , in Australia you will never sell that , because dangerous spiders will make their nap inside ( shadow)
This is my dream
How much do these start from? Tks
what phone car holder do u use
" SPECIAL " 👌👏💯💪😎
Video would have been epic if he had used the wipers to clean windscreen
what about the trunk ?
The best car in D class.
what watch is he wearing during the test? ⌚️
IgnitionCollection.com
Do a RR Phantom review🙏🏻
Auto BIÓNICO!! DESPUES DE LOS 300KMH PASA AL RNGO DE MISIL! 😎 BUENISIMO!! SALUDOS
What is the price of one of these?
WoW!
did they only make one style of rims over the past few decades ?
My god at 198 it was just like a jumbo jet.
changes the emblem
