Check this out for a cool cockpit photo - nice use of fisheye lens B3 Cockpit

and an article about it from Autocar mag Autocar pdf

Shame they haven't turboed the V8 from the M3 :ph34r: But for the first time the Alpina version will be cheaper than the original M car

I'm confused, how can an Alpina tuned car be cheaper than the original M3? Don't Alpina buy the standard car off BMW and then modify it? :blink:

I know it seems weird - but according to the article the difference in price is due to the M3 having the 4L V8 and the B3 having a modified version of the 3L straight 6 and turbos from the 335i

Big donk = big dollars! Or pounds in this case :rolleyes:

the actual seeling price of a car is largely due to the manufacturers perceived market segment.Ie they can reallyt decide how much it will sell for,which may have very little to do with what it costs them to make.And remeber,in relation to the cost BMW had in developing the M3 Alpina have already got a car...

Hmmmm you're right - just had a closer look. There's quite a bad seam from the merge right down the middle

Nice one Hawkeye ;)

Still quite effective anyway
