looks good, but the lower mesh grill dosnt look right to me it needs fog lights or somethin and 8 speed transmission is a too much 7speed would have been perfect imo

rumor said during the B7 Development, the 8 speeds was NOT strong enough for Alpina application. Apparently they had improve the 8 speeds now, so it can be used in the B5 (same engine/power as B7). Hopefully they will use this 8 speeds for later B7 production too. |

On second thoughts,
maybe because the B5 weight less than the B7, the B5 8 speeds transmission working load is NOT as heavy/hard as if it is use in the B7, that is why the 8 speeds can be used in the B5 but not in the B7... (for now)... |

Here some info about all the different ZF 8 speed boxes which are also being used in i.e the 760 and RR Ghost, which are capable of taking more torque... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_8HP_transmission |

What's up with the front end of the new generation of BMWs? Looks like it's smiling... Ugly to me. I will not buy it.

Have to see this in black. Replace Alpina front splitter with the M-sport front bumper and done!

HOLY SHIT
This is so hot looking. The front looks so good without the silver slats and the rear is out of this world. I am not sure if I like the front or rear better. I am amazed how good this new F10 look modded. The older 5 didnt really looks so great with aero/body kits but this gen is looking unreal. I am amazed by alpina. Wow just WOW.

I really hope the M5 looks better than this. Not a fan. The rear is decent, but the front is awful.

Now that they are all done with the r&D, I think the B7 might get the 8 speed now.
