ALPINA is not a tuner. That market has been well covered by the likes of Hamann, AC Schnitzer, and Manhart Racing for decades.

Since 1983, Alpina has been recognized by the German Federal Ministry of Transport as an automobile manufacturer and can apply their own VIN, thus Alpina-built cars are branded and registered as Alpina instead of BMW.

Sold only through BMW exclusively

Alpina also makes fine wines

Overall he seemed to love it. I would love to see him do a review of an m50i in comparison to the xb7. In fact he said maybe one day he’ll get an m50 to review.

LOL $156k USD for any automobile is waaaaay too much and no where near a "good value" hahahahaha if you want a good value for your money, buy a Kia

Or I could buy your 2013 M3 for $100 and store it in the spare tire compartment of my new XB7 and then drive by the Kia dealership. Yea, I'll go with that instead.

Matt Farrah knows his stuff, particularly when it comes to classic Porsche's. Clearly by this video, he shows that he doesn't know anything about the XB7 or Alpina's relationship with BMW. What happened here is he probably had a long night out partying for NYE then had to get up and do a review of a car he isn't knowledgeable about. Lazy journalism is all.

Of course that's the only thing I use when deciding on a car 😉

Yes sir! They do make fine wine. Although I have never sampled one.

Someday I hope to travel to Buchloe and sample the cars and have a great dinner with one their wines for an article.

Wow you're rather rude, I would have thought that someone with such a huge, square head would have educated, meaningful things to say?
