Alpina's in Magazines (Archive)
I've read it, re-read it, read it again and come to the conclusion that Bill Thomas loves his Alpina as much as I love mine.
He is so right when he talks about the wonderful exhaust note and engine sound under revs - I almost thought he was talking about my car

The car looked fantastic too!
I bumped in Andrew Everett at the Nurburgring over the Easter holiday. He took a few photos of the car. I bought the May issue yesterday, and noticed that they are doing a track special for the June edition. One of the highlights was mentioned as "Nurburgring adventures".
Hopefully a picture will end up in there again!

The cover is the Lotus Superhatch
The story title : Soft M6 is hard and fast
Tagline: with a super-torquey V8 and auto gearbox, the ALPINA B6 is a very different fast 6-series.
Verdict: Every bit as desirable as the M6. Not as sharp, but a better grand tourer.
main niggle is handling unsettled at speed.
the inclusion of the LSD goes down well too.
