Anyone know where I might be able to find them for sale, and maybe some prices? I'm sure it's super expensive, but I can't find anything.

Did you say you wanted to trade your car for an engine??

I don't think Alpina would sell you their engine. Get a supercharger: it's not the same, but almost, simper and cheaper.

I think the B7 has the same engine as the B5, which uses the 4.4L. If the engine is the same as ours you might be able to just add on the supercharger, intake and chargecooler. I suspect however that going outside Alpina might be the same if the not better performance results for much less. Has anyone looked at turbocharging our cars?? Lots of performance shops do customer turbocharger systems at affordable prices. Not saying to stay away from Alpina, just that it might be more affordable and fun coming up with a set up of your own with say 6psi.
Just for fun I put a link to a supercharger calculator.
