Alpina teaser B8 GC

Post by B10BRW » Sun Mar 21, 2021 2:38 pm

Just been sent a teaser from Alpina re the World premier of the B8 Gran Coupe on the 24th of March.

Can not wait to see the beast in all it's glory, will be a serious case of want :lol:

Shame they did not make a version of the 4 series :(

This prompts me to recall that an 'Autocar' issue earlier this month predicted a B8 launch in April, and most interestingly for me they also predicted a B4 launch in the summer - but no real details as yet though.
B3 BiTurbo Cabrio #121 (E93) + Quaife ATB LSD
X1 2.0 Twin-Scroll Turbo xDrive #zillion (F48) ... really useful, if only an XB1 existed !

--- but when you are up to your ears in alligators it can be relatively difficult to remember that your original idea was to drain the swamp --- hmmm

Will be good to see it in all it’s glory. Must admit I’m not overly sold on the 8 series styling generally and the 4 series is a bit of a munter, even in non-M guise.

I meant the F36, even Alpina could not improve the horrendous front end of the new 4 series.

Ah, yes, an F36 would’ve been a good option and a niche that BMW left open.
