OMG, First time i've seen one of these in the Flesh and I like it...Alpina B7

Library image, I kicked myslef because I left my phone in the car!!!

Absolutely stunning in the Flesh and I really do not like the new 7er shape..

Having said that, those wheels were gigantic in the flesh 19" or 20" easily!

My jaw just hit the floor. It was parked in the carpark at Sandbanks in Dorset (where small flats are worth £1000 per sq INCH).

The noise of the thing when it took off I can only relate to Concorde!

I dont want one.................or do I?

is so so..

Nice car. Don't think that apartments in Sandbanks are quite £1000 per square inch though

. Otherwise a 10'x12' (very, very, small) studio would be £17 280 000. Now, they're expensive, but not quite that expensive

.

Any idea of what power that B7 is running?

Dam those extra Zeros!

OK, stats are:-

4.4 V8 Supercharged 500bhp (113.7bhp/litre), 0-62 in 4.8 and weighs a staggering 1950kgs!!

Top speed 186mph...

Price = approx. £76,000 :eek:

Don't think the alpina front splitter works, but the wheels look great. Nice car, looks have really grown on me.

A few Alpina questions

How much would a B3 cost? I've seen one at work, a 2003 i think it is.

What makes Aplina so special? I know they change things but what exactly do they change?

This should be of some assistance to you!

the phrase that comes to mind is "more munt than a night out in Manchester"

to be honest it's not really horrid, just that in comparison to BMW's from ten years ago or more what they're building now looks tacky..

the one in the o/p looks very much like a mondeo or a vectra to my eyes, and whilst that's not necessarily a bad shape for a £15k bargin bucket repmobile, it's not really what i'd want for 4 or 5 times that.
