who cares man its such an awsome car i believe it's like #228 out of 550

The wheels on that car are sick. I'd take a stock Z8 over the Alpina though. Cutting the horsepower and putting in an auto trans make me wonder what they're thinking.

cant believe u guys..........only reason u guys think they are lame is cuz you never been in one or driven one. I've had the chance to drive in one and they are nothing near lame...........they are BBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAADDDDD ASSSSSS cars

Umm...actully I have driven a z8 (see pick below ) . I don't remember any one saying "oh the alpina is lame." I'm just saying that without stick it takes away froma lot of the driving pleasure. Me personally I can't get excited about an alpina. It's like the womens version of the z8. It's still a nice car don't get me wrong but an automatic on an exotic is just odd to me.



My freind in his z8..

The good ones do... so the grimy port workers don't mess up your new interior... Same for Audi/Porsche, etc.... especially the Audi's with the Alcantara steering wheels.

i think he was wondering about the rims

[yotone]

dose that alpina use a smg gearbox? is it the same as the M3's?
the sticker price on that car made me cringe.

[Shockwave179]

no its an auto with tiptronic settings i believe

kool but, i dont really dig alpina anymore, their new offerings seem to be watered down, more luxurious BMWs. The old Alpinas based on the 2002s and E24 were really interesting cars. More of a screamer and high performance oriented. Back in those days, Alpina was a racing team.
