My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Default

I love Alpina cars, I have an Alpina front on my 5er, but is it a car of the year? I doubt it. While a great car, no doubt, I think even the new Ford Fiesta is more deserving. Besides, Alpina is such a niche manufacturer - they are really just a glorified (though in this case, much deservedly glorified) tuner. That said, I'm guessing its not impossible that a well-tuned B7 can kick SLS' butt

Well, the B7 is already well tuned, it's making just over 500bhp - but the SLS has over 570hp and is close to 1000lbs lighter than the B7. The B7 doesn't stand a chance.

I don't know, so its tuned to 516hp - I think that engine has a LOT more potential in it. But yeah, I may have been a little prejudiced there
