You guys will probably "stone" me for this, but honestly speaking the alpina cars really don't look that great. I would rather take the m5. i just think that the body parts they put on the car just look like if they have been glued to the car and really don't belong to it - just like all the boy racers pimping their golf 3 with spoilers and such. the m5 justs looks more complete. obviously the engine is a different subject - i am just voicing my concerns on the exteriour looks..

When you see one in the metal, trust me, the B5 doesn't look pimped at all - without the stickers, it's far more subtle (subtly menacing) than an M5.
And no, nobody on the board owns a B5S yet, because there haven't been any deliveries just yet.
Nice that BMW finally let Alpina release a car with more official power than the M-equivalent, even if only for a short while. The standard B5 is generally reckoned to put out about 520-530PS, so hopefully the B5S/B6S will put out something nearer 550PS in reality.

I have only seen 1 Hamann (onlyfront and back), 6 Full ACS and about 30 M kits. I think most people that drive BMW in HK dont know that there are other body kit on the market.

Just for your info, HAMANN GmbH is also a registered car factory and not "only" a tuner, but most people buy parts instead of buying ready built new cars, in Dubai and Germany more do...
