Spotted this on the Munich Legends facebook page & couldn't believe my eyes!

Fair point but I guess ultimately boils down to fame and desirability... not many even to this day really know or get what an alpina is and this includes the motoring press

Lightweight chassis, enhanced bodywork, twin airbags .... where's my coat?Chas wrote:You might as well ask why Jordan is famous.., although to be fair to the CSL I'd much rather have a ride in the BMW.

The CSL is pretty much the only modern BMW that will appreciate over the coming years.
The CSL stands head and shoulders above the standard M3 in every respect
and due to the limited production numbers command a high ££££ price.
Often compared to the E30 M3 in terms of handling

If I wanted to spend that much money, I'd buy a brand new ALPINA D3 BiTurbo F30bmw virgin wrote:Spotted this on the Munich Legends facebook page & couldn't believe my eyes!

and btw, I've started to miss my STI
and as for the "fame" mentioned above, it's not fame but popularity between a certain part of male population ( not all of them). it's the law of markets: as long as there is demand, there will be the offer. You wanna stop this, then boys don't ask for it! Ha ha ha
And the name is Marie-Noëlle or nick name MNL, NOT Marie or Noëlle ALONE; unless if you are looking for someone else and not me!!!
