New B8

Post by Charles » Wed Mar 24, 2021 9:44 pm

Just been playing with the configurator for the new B8 and about to set up a crowdfunding page:

ALPINA Green
Gold deko set
Cognac leather
Chromeline
Panoramic sunroof

Could have gone mad but I kept it to £140,300 ...

I'm not sure how much more you could add to it - it comes very well loaded already, but I take your point.

In for a penny, in for a pound ...

I don't know, it's a bit alarming. The images I've seen so far look like a US spec car with no number on the build plaque ... not heard where these are to be built yet, but usually it's the cars that don't get to Buchloe that have limited ALPINA options available.

ALPINA Green with Red Leather is a bold choice Mark

It does look nice, reminds me of Stahl Blau. I think it suits the Aventurine Red as well.

They are probably the ones left over from the XB7s they can not get rid of, as a real Alpina enthusiast wouldn't buy that garden shed :D
