Vid Hypersonic February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 (edited) Can somebody explain what is the diff between Alpnia to M to a normal badge BMW. Is it quantifiable like Merc C, E, S class ? Engine different lor. For example, the normal 5 series like 528i use 4-cylinder twin turbo, the aplina D5 use 6-cylinder twin turbo and the M5 use V8 twin turbo.

Limpeh23 2nd Gear February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 Oh....that means, M comes first, then Alpina then the normal BM. Tiok bor........ Then hor.....how come i hardly see any Alpina on the road ? Alpina is actually recognised as an independent automobile manufacturer that makes cars based on BMW models, but they work very closely with BMW itself during the manufacturing process and their cars can be sold via BMW dealerships as well. That said, they manufacture cars in limited quantities, making them quite exclusive. I think Munich Automobiles only clinched the distributorship for Alpina not too long ago, and with the limited advertising, that is why you tend to hardly see any of them on the road.

That's why ///M emphasize on hp. Alpina is a luxo barge. That's why Alpina emphasize on Torque. M5 is twin turbo V8 4.4L Alpina B5 is twin turbo V8 4.4L Alpina is actually recognised as an independent automobile manufacturer that makes cars based on BMW models, but they work very closely with BMW itself during the manufacturing process and their cars can be sold via BMW dealerships as well.
