    One of the best looking bmws on sale today besides the 5 series. The styling is attractive and we got the bmw signature kidney grille not the hideous lung shape grilles they are starting to be see on a lot of models. I hope with a future redesign they don’t ruin it and put the hideous lung shape grilles. There will be no beauty in that

    When I hear "Alpina", it reminds me of Alpine and takes me back the good ol' 90's. Back when aftermarket automobile cd players and car alarms ruled the electronics industry. Back when Circut City and Best Buy were the big boys on the block. One of the first things you did after buying a new or used car was going straight to one of those stores and getting yourself a nice CD player, maybe even one that can change backlight colors. Back then you had your Kenwoods and Pioneers, but Alpine was the probably the top player in the car CD player market. God I miss those days.

    Great video! "Joe", I have always known and been a fan of the Alpina brand (love those signature rims). Anyhow you could be driving one of the last ones because this past week they were bought by BMW. It seems that their contract was coming to an end (up for renewal). BMW says that they will keep everything the same but that is what is said in all merger acquisitions! I would like to see Alpina's Brand continue "At least until I can get one😁😊😎"

    I was recently at a muffler shop in North Hollywood, Ca and some baller Armenian’s pulled up in a brand new M5 comp pack and an Alpina B8. It was such a beautiful and well built car. Subtle in some ways but yet an absolute beast in disguise. I was happy to be able to actually see the car first hand and the guy was cool and revved it up and even did a quick launch as he was leaving the shop.😃

    The BMW Alpina B8 is one special and unique super sedan. I would take this car over the M8 Competition because the M8 tends to have too stiff of a ride to use as a daily driver, while the Alpina has a soft ride and the performance to match. Is it worth the price? Of course, when you factor in the exclusivity and Alpina's unique heritage.
