Absolutely nothing about it said M. It was the anti thesis of everything M in terms of driving dynamics. Never mistake an Alpina for an M they are polar opposite of type of cars which I guess is the whole point and why they can co-exist with BMW’s blessing. I literally hate how Alpinas drive while M cars is right down my alley. People who like the exclusiveness of M cars and their power and speed but think they are too hard-core for their liking are the perfect Alpina customers. They compliment each other but are not substitutes.
