2008 Alpina B7 or 2009 750i

Folks,

I am really torn between these 2 cars. If you had this dilemma, which car would you chose and why?

Regards,
Fancyfl1ght

Same reason. I actually just came back from the dealership looking at a B7 and Activehybrid 7. I just liked the B7 better. interior and exterior looked and seemed larger to me.

There are some great buys on the 07/08 B7's right now. Alpina does a fantastic job with these cars. I have taken multiple test drives in the '11 B7's and they are incredible.
A huge part of the choice on an '08 vs. an '09 to me is how you feel about the looks of the E65's. I just don't care for them and I feel so strongly about it that I couldn't live with one.
Wish I felt differently; they're a lot cheaper than the new B7's!

the 2008 b7 has a great engine, but a crummy interior. I don't like the shifter on the steering wheel, very un-BMW-like.

But the supercharged V8 is attractive and is technically more powerful than the 2009 750i.

Decisions decisons!

The boost psi on the 2009 750i is "adjustable" so you could chip it. . .hmmm, sounds like the 2009 is the way to go. . .
