Nightmare question.

The M5 is an icon of course I want one.

The B5 is missing a couple of cylinders, but it looks great ... my local dealer sells alpina and has a black one on display.

You might find this interesting:

B5 - 516 ft.lb torque / 0-100 = 9.5 secs

M5 - 383 ft.lb torque / 0-100 = 9.8 secs

I am almost ashamed to say I voted B5

I want B5. To bad, it's not in the US. It's also like a sleeper too.

I voted for the B5. Alas, it isn't offered in my neck of the woods.
The ideal package for me would be the M suspension and body kit (M mirrors too) with the Alpina built motor.

Oh, almost forgot, I would tell Alpina to keep the pin-striping for someone else's car. We're no longer in the 1980's.

Ditto. I move my dog but there is no way he would be climbing over my M5 interior!!

But then the Alpina interior looks real cheap so I wouldn't care if he mesed that up!
Are u serious? I love the interior, its so shabby that i love it. I would feel like a pornstar sitting in that car...

Haha, no I was being sarcastic, I love the interior on the Alpina, and not one for wood normally!

Alpina for longer journeys, M5 for city streets

See? As easy as stealing a treat from a baby.
