A few days ago, one of my friends phoned me who is a car nut and knows I am an ALPINA fanatic. He was telling me about ‘Cars That Rock with Brian Johnson’ and how he found the BMW history fascinating. He failed to share that Brian Johnson did a review of an ALPINA Z8. I recorded the show yesterday, and watched most of it late last night. As I was falling asleep, I therefore will watch rest of the show later today. I texted my friend and he said: “Oh I forgot to mention the ALPINA”. Not going to text him back with this: I honestly couldn’t care less about the history of BMW as I know most it, but watching an ALPINA on TV is a completely different story for me – can’t believe he failed to tell me this.

Also did anyone notice that the E9 3.0 CSL had a ALPINA gear knob

Due to the unjust review, this is the reason why ALPINA will not allow Top Gear TV to review any of their cars.

Glad to watch Brian Johnson’s reviewing the ALPINA Z8 correctly and in the positive tone which the car deserves
