well it's made by Akrapovic for Alpina so you can check with their dealer to see if you can buy it from them directly. I'm sure it will be a significant amount

RIDICULOUS! I Don't see how anyone can hate on the F10, it looks good stock, M-Sport, M or Alpina guise. The sound is very nice too!

Wow, sick. Alpina's have always struck me as "dealer" cars, if u catch my drift. But they are gorgeous, classy, balls fast and somewhat more unique than an M car. I would love to see this run with an M5.
Actually, I would love to see more alpina's in the states

The new 540hp Alpina V8 is based on the N63tu (new N63, now with Valvetronic), no? If so, this is the only way to get the N63tu in a 5er. For whatever reason, BMW only gave the 6 and 7 (and X6, and perhaps X5 too, can't recall) the N63tu for MY2103. The 5 continues with the standard N63.
Granted you don't really buy this car for the tech used in the engine anyway, you buy it because it has 540hp - 140hp more than a standard 5 series. |

It's a big mistake to not offer this model to US market.
I'm not sure if they will sell to many in Europe, but their engines are always much more impressive than standard ones in BMW line up, with the performances just a little bit under M models! Related to exclusivity, this is another story |
