I only want one. Alpina B8 4.6. Why? B8 is the first Alpina that I saw in my life and where I am, unfortunately, just sitting. It was during my visit to a Alpina factory. Convertible in the picture is the last production line and is the founder factory Burkard Bovensiepen of the private car.

The B8 4.6 is a killer machine, however I'm not a big fan of the verts because they tend to twist like a pretzel when running them in the twisties. Push them hard and you will pop the windshield right out of the frame.

It would be interesting to know what Alpina did to improve or deal with chassis flex from the stock vert platform.
