Alpina is NOT a skunkworks shop. They are not like M. Alpina is a true auto manufacter that just happens to use BMW cars as their starting point. Keep in mind that the Alpina cars do NOT have BMW VIN numbers, they have Alpina VIN numbers.
BMWAG buys the cars from Alpina and resells them to BMWNA. BMWNA then sells the cars to US dealers and we buy them. No skunkworks.
