Just in my own humble opinion.....

E65 Alpina B7 was awesome and impressive. Very well engineered supercharger system, brought the impressive horsepower/torque to the 7 series that it needed without any issues.

E65 B7 also brought some nice interior luxeries like a suede headliner and a-pillars that only the 760 had.

Overall price comparison: E65 750i $75,000 760 $122,000 B7 $116,000

Now F01 has had a huge price jump...... now there are alot of options for F01 and they have seperated alot of items out of packages but your average F01 750 is 100-110K depending on options.

The new 760 with 535hp is on its way STARTING at 137K.....

Now you can really see the price savings with the alpina @ 122-126k.

As far as not really being wow'd....

If you have ever owner or driven a E65 B7 the styling and attributes to the F01 are much of the same.....IE same style bumpers, wheels ect.... The interior quality of the regular F01 is far more nicer than the e65 and that is money well spent, so there wasnt much to spice up for the Alpina.

In conclusion, If you've had a E65 B7 before you wont be wow'd at the plus F01 plus factors over the original F01 750, however for an extra 10-15k more its worth having a limited production vehicle that is produced with perfection and will hold its value much longer.

I hope that helps, feel free to ask more questions, we already have 3 preordered at my dealer, let me know if I can help.
