3 wounded soldiers, there were better cars out there to use imo. They didn't even use the switch tronic!

I’m subscribed to Carwow. It’s quite revealing this one, and very relevant for me too.
Even with a “normal”, non-dual clutch, automatic transmission the two Alpinas still out accelerate the manual M5 in most of the runs.

Very much so, and the M5 didn't sound standard either. Pointless really.

Agreed, pointless. Maybe we members ought to make one. Three generations of the B5 touring? E61/F11/G31 With a bit more emphasis on what they're really like to keep and live with.
