What makes them think it's a B5 and not an M5? What distinguishes it?

On the M5 the camouflage has the white pattern over black, Alpina has the black on white! DUH! :lol: :lol:

the first thing that springs to mind is the number plate -- thats the area where Alpina are based.

ps. love the quads!! :D

The license plate is Alpina.

BMW M and BMW use: M-.. ....
Alpina uses: OAL-.. ....

The fact it has OAL- and then just numbers prove it's at an early stage. Later those prototypes have regular license plates with two letters after the OAL-, followed by up to four digits (same applies for BMW cars with M- license plates, btw).
