And they are ridiculously expensive and unreachable. You can compare Brabus tuning to G-Power BMW'S if you want , but NOT Alpina.

ALPINA cars seem so uninspired these days. IMHO- their design language seems married to (or hiding behind) a very dated and and now over-cooked "aftermarket" look. There was a time when their work was subtle, but clearly differentiated. Now it seems as though the new model arrives, they slap on a big tune, big wheels, big chin spoiler, quilted leather and a bunch of badges.

My dealer had a B7 (prior gen) sitting in their show room for months- eventually it sold at price more closely resembling that of a loaded 550i.

With the introduction of a V12 M Performance (Series) 7, how does the B7 survive?
