Their badge, wheels, body kits, random lines on the body and stupid lettering on the back is hideous IMO.
I dont' get it.

Agree. The rear badging is hideous.

Love the new wheels, but the alpina version of E92/93 is not as nice as the E90/91...

Alpina is one of the BMW tuners with the longest history - they started modifying BMW in the late 60's and have had close relationship with BMW in R&D. For instance was the engine in the Alpina D10 was the predecessor to the 535d and 335d.

And the "wierd badge" has a crankshaft and a weber carburator on it - again a symbol of the earliest Alpinas.

I like them a lot

remmib · 03-02-2010, 12:49 PM

Wow, 400hp and 540Nm, that thing gotta be fast.

Schm · 03-02-2010, 01:05 PM

I like them, and I the wheels too. Kinda a throwback to the Alpinas of yesteryear

mastermayhm · 03-02-2010, 01:06 PM

diggin the green on white vert

Vintage · 03-02-2010, 01:15 PM

the badges on the boot are tacky but oher than that - I like them . . . PRICE???

SV Concepts II · 03-02-2010, 01:17 PM

The Alpina multispoke wheels are timeless....

+1 that badging takes up the entire trunk on the e92 LCI

MRQturbo · 03-02-2010, 02:10 PM

interiors are nice...rims and kits are nasty looking.....

GnokGnik · 03-02-2010, 02:12 PM

400hp/400lbxft...efficiently

Still not my cup of styling tea. I think LCI E92's are not the sexiest cars to begin with.

335si · 03-02-2010, 03:10 PM

Blah...

E90 Skye · 03-02-2010, 04:00 PM

wow awesome... except, can they not use badging that uses the font size from a dodge ram?

ebeem · 03-02-2010, 04:03 PM

I`ve been to the Alpina sales section at the BMW dealership in Munich and inquired for the new B3 some weeks ago...
While the power output is great and the base price of the Alpina includes things which are options on the regular BMWs,the suspension obviously is more comfort orientated since the salesman told me that it is a bit softer than the BMW M-Package suspension...
the cool thing about the B3 is that you can get a LSD as an option

T89 · 03-02-2010, 04:11 PM

Love Alpinas! very classy.

Ironring Racing · 03-02-2010, 04:52 PM

Wonder why they went with a larger diameter rear wheel package than stock? Stock is 255/35 18, while Alpina specs a 265/40 18.

GreenPlease · 03-02-2010, 05:44 PM

Absolutely beautiful

I'm definitely getting that rear for my e92...

SchnellM3 · 03-02-2010, 05:59 PM

I MUST HAVE THAT RED AND BLACK INTERIOR!!!!!

the alpina 7 series looks nice!

+1 not feeling the front end

Noc57 · 03-02-2010, 06:10 PM

Not bad....

Looks like the LCI LED tails are shaped a little differently than pre-LCI (the way it curves around the side) .....bummer I was hoping to swap these in as soon as they became available.

I have always loved alpina interiors.
