Agreed.

His car has a more aggressive stance with the M bumpers.
Lovely looking car in That colour!

I drove his car to compare it to the B3.

It felt light, nimble and smooth like all e36’s.
The performance comes in properly at 4/5 rpm whereas with the B3 the power is almost immediate.
The lack in power is noticeable but didn’t take anything away from the ejoyabilitiy of driving the car.
It handled beautifully and has an lsd fitted by the owner which gave the car a similar feel to the B3.

I’m glad I got the opportunity to drive the car and can appreciate even more what Alpina stand for.
