Me? the M5 with the manual gearbox everytime

[alex 0]

I'd have the m5.

[BM WORLD 1261]

the M5 ....

. alpina is rare , but not enough power , and its a auto .(convert to manual)

for $15k maybe

[oldskool 4]

No contest,

Alpina is nice but unless its a twin turbo b10, which this is not (TT LHD only) e34 m5 best 5 except for e38 m5 and even then some guys I know of still pine for their old e34's

m5 is the best bemmer I have ever owned, but then I am biased

Brent is on the money for the Alpina, guy is way to rich on that one

hi p1-m3 Is it a look see situation or a bit more? from a laymans view and what i payed for my 02 530i 56,100k's.

m5 1991 done 166,000km it's 16 years old $22,000, 3 owners

Alpina B10 1988 240,00km its 19 years old $25,000 3 owners

They seem over the top price wise on age and k's , forget all the frilly bits. When all said and done a car's price is set by what you as a buyer is prepared to pay for it.

I'd invest my $22,000 on the sharemarket, hope for the best and sell all my shares for $150,000 the next day so i could buy an E55 AMG

M5 newer, less ks, faster and manual

[kiwi535 538]

All M5s (except the current one) will be manual,so thats nothing.The M5 will be potentially more expensive to own and maintain,the Alpina is basically a chipped and ported and cammed 535

It would be the M5 for me too,but i dont think they are worth that sort of money.A 3.8 6 speed maybe...

Neither hold any appeal to me, but since you posed the question as a 'pick one' - if I had to, it'd be the M5. I suppose I could convert it to an auto.

[Guest Spargo]

M5

[TronSpec 0]

m5 ...........turbo

[nath 129]

M5 definitely... who wants an auto, non sport seated alpina anyway.

Ok is this dodgy or do i not know what im talking about??

In the dash pictures of the alpina you can see another car parked in front of it through the windscreen and the plate is PISH but on the description of the Alpina it says that car's plate is PISH.

So whats going on?

Oh and id go the M5 all the way
