The dual character of B4S (and B3S) is really tempting. With M4 (and M3) you cannot relax much on longer runs, due to tire roar and other things. With Alpina you can and you can still be completely hooligan just like with M4 (as demonstrated here). I also like the understated looks - while it is not completely "sleeper" it blends in traffic better and lets you do your driving in peace (when you want it that way). I'm seriously considering importing B3S Bi-turbo from Germany as we don't have dealers selling these in Finland...
This is the story of my life for the last few months, sold my s204 c63 in september and doubting between a couple cars which the m3 and alpina are part of. I realy realy have no idea what to do. The boy in me say buy the m3 and tune the hell out of it, the man in me saz buy the more classy and rare alpina. By 2023 I am probably still doubting.
Alpina do an awesome job. Much less boyracer muscle styled than the m cars without compromised performance. Shame the luxury bmw line isn’t quite there as Ms are a little to muscle for my liking.
Thought the video was lagging, looked like the vid was shot at 15 FPS xd that aside love the alpinas, didn’t like the look of them until I saw one in person.
Like the interior but would be nice if the steering wheel incorporated some of that colour too.. obviously not on the outer rim but maybe the centre hub.
I just bought the M4 CP.... I considered the B4s but due to the lack of competing dealerships for Alpina-(only Sytner) in the UK you have no way to competitively drive prices down. This ultimately makes the CP a better buy from a monetary perspective as you can get some great deals great deals using Carwow especially!
great review. the stills on this video look amazing but seems as though the frame rate or shutter speed has been messed up a little bit as looked laggy alot of the time. Regardless, great video. Considering replacing my 335i with one of these!
Sideways Sid - We shall give this guy a "Koeningsegg Agera R" Coupled with the "Yugo 55 1.1 Litre engine" under the hood..... And Let's see if he may change opinions after that... - Shall we not Sire...??
Sideways Sid well it seems so identical to the m4 performance wise, so looks is a fair way to judge it when everything else is so even. This alpina looks too much like a regular 3 series in the front, regular 4 series from the back, no wide fenders or anything. M4 looks more special and well, it's an m car, this isn't. plus I don't like that steering wheel.
+Sideways Sid I agree with LegendIn ThaMakin both nice motors buts let's be realistic, you buy these cars for the craziness and stand out value and when there both in similar price brackets and one looked like a 4 series se with quad pipes and the other is fully M'd up I know what my choice would be.....
Been waiting for this one and it didn't disappoint! Well done mate really good :-)
Joe Achilles Thank you Sir for helping me with Car
Sunday / Monday upload at its best ha
Thank you Joe, because your video with a green b4s against a white BMW M4 is the reason, why I now drive a B4s with xDrive in Berlin!!! :-)

Got a B3 bi and love it mate. Just get one, fuck it.

Well done you made the skids look like art with the B4S what an absolute machine
+Pete harris Thanks mate, the B4S is a masterpiece 🙌🏽
What are your thoughts on this Alpina B4S?.. Apart from the skids 😈
the steering wheel look so old ..
Need to stop the traction control from kicking in on my B3, how ?
Lovely car but what is going on with the framerate?
Bonnermanvideos apologies for the frame rate .
PAL vs NTSC
Whats the big plastic brick under the front numberplate for? Looks like some kind of radar.
Burnham76 Guess what...
Bang on from the start with the video Sid!
Edward Van. Thank you sir 👍🏽
Alpina do an awesome job. Much less boyracer muscle styled than the m cars without compromised performance. Shame the luxury bmw line isn’t quite there as Ms are a little to muscle for my liking.
Did this B4 S have the optional limited slip differential (LSD)? And is it necessary?
Iam pretty sure Alpina didnt tune it for UK roads
Great vid! Alpina = pure class.
DARK HORSE POWER Thanks dude 👊🏽
Awesome video Sid!
That slide @6:30 8-)
Great review. I have the m140i and your comments on torque delivery rang true with my car. I wish I had the money for this car.

Loving that car control Sid , do you provide lessons? 😉
+Car Obsession Soon 👍🏽
Sideways Sid *rubs hands with excitement* but also fear 😂
This guy knows how to slide 😄
great review. the stills on this video look amazing but seems as though the frame rate or shutter speed has been messed up a little bit as looked laggy alot of the time.
Regardless, great video. Considering replacing my 335i with one of these!
the inside camera feels like it is running 20fps
Car really suits you Sid Awesome video 👌🏻
Stephen Carney thanks mate glad you enjoyed it.
Sid can u do a skid
The true baby driver
Is frame rate off on camera??
Tom Evans Slowing the clips down to make it look Badass 😎
Fantastic video on such a lovely car! Love the skids man ;)
HeelandToe.Blog Thanks mate, wish I had more time with this B4S 👌🏽🙌🏽. The balance is good 👌🏽👌🏽
Well done mate
Motech Performance Thanks. Got there in the end 😎
Cuz its a M and muuuch wider why a alpina ?
Is a very nice car although I think it sounds more like a 435i suttle
Supercars in England Fair enough, I love the way this sound with that Akrapovc Exhaust 👌🏽
Ohh hell yeah , still a very unique and beautiful car
Driva... 🎵
A shame thats theres no flat bottom steering wheel
RB26 I found out that you can have this as an option 🙌🏽
I saw the pics of this car and it's damage ! did that happen while this video was being made?
Hi;)) can you take the Alpina DS5 2017 please!? And XD3 2017 ;)) Good jooob;))
sids in notts
Were you in Nottinghamshire in this video ?
Joshua Rootham Yes!!
What he means by that is...
Great content, awful frame rate and quality though 👎
bradtate10 apologies about the frame rate dude. 🙈
bradtate10 Geeeeeeek!
Hate hate hate that steering wheel
+Sean McGeeney Its Optional.
Sean McGeeney Then you just don't get it.
You wanna be Chris Harris soooo bad (who doesn’t)
+S9 JTO I think we all do. 🙈
I am here because liveing life fast shouted you out
+dave hill What a beautiful man he is #NoHomo 😈
Your videos are awesome two bud
Because Alpina's drop in value quicker than GBP.
Great video but not a fan of the alpina
Archers Thanks and fair enough 👍🏽
M4 still looks way better therefore m4 all the way.
+LegendInThaMakin You Judge a Car based on looks?... Naughty Boy!!

3DFX you don't get what I'm trying to say.
When 2 cars are really similar in performance and price, what's wrong with then picking one based on looks?
+Sideways Sid I agree with LegendIn ThaMakin both nice motors buts let's be realistic, you buy these cars for the craziness and stand out value and when there both in similar price brackets and one looked like a 4 series se with quad pipes and the other is fully M'd up I know what my choice would be.....
audio sucks.
Sideways lol... sick car for you 👊🏼
Nice car but definitely uglier than standard m4
meh.... c63S all day
+Rejoice Rone 👀👀
no manual, no thanks.
LegendInThaMakin it's a diesel best off with a auto
MrDecaffeinato oh
So?
It looks terrible inside and out and the depreciation would keep me awake at night.
Good review though!
