The lowered front and added splitter/cowling make it much better balanced IMHO

Wonder if BMW is going to introduce the F01 with the new 4.4 TT 550 hp (or 500 hp),
as a 760i maybe?

The Alpina's are always drivers cars only, no executive boss cars needed,
the F02 (L=long wheel base) takes care of that.

but that's what Alpina is about; classic understatement, with LOTS of power and great handling

If you want to make more of a visual statement, there are Hamann, ACS and co.

But obviously, its not everyone's taste. I like it though
