mr E34 11 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Nice retro styling, i'm pretty sure Alpina pulled out the M5/5ltr V8 & dropped in their 4.8ltr M62 engine. Very strange thing to do, less pwr, bit more torque. Maybe they couldn't afford to do anything to the M engine, still seems a bit pointless???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very strange thing to do, less pwr, bit more torque. Maybe they couldn't afford to do anything to the M engine, still seems a bit pointless???? There was a Top Gear episode on it. Alpina took the manual box out, changed the motor like you said, played with the interior looks and marked up the price. The thing went hard in a straight line but couldn't really corner.It seemed like they were aiming at an American market Boulevard cruiser - which is where it is now (or was) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
