New B6 teaser?

Does the inclusion of carbon fibre indicate a shift in design emphasis from high speed winchester sofa with wood trim to something all together more racy?

:shock:

The old one still does it for me anyway. Reminded of the Austin Powers line "Do I make you horny baby? Do I? Yeah!

Personally I like the way that the taster looks. A bit of carbon never did any harm !!
When the D3 was launched Alpina marketed it at a younger generation to broaden the spectrum of Alpina owners. Now a few years down the line Those new alpinaholics created have more ££ and can buy the likes of the new B6. I'm sure the pipe smoking winchester highbacked alpina owners will be well catered for with different models an options

Ha ha! Never thought I'd see the word baffie being used on this forum! I've got a tartan simmet but it's years since I had a pair of tartan baffies :lol:

[edit: the lurkers on this thread must be wondering how the heck we've gone from carbonfiber on a B6 to dodgy footware in such a short space]
