Thanks goodness for Alpina, because regular M is not doing a thing for the 7 series. Shameful!

This car looks outstanding! From the front bumper to the rear exhaust the car looks like the perfect BMW. I am happy that Alphina stepped to the plate since M// was so scared.

This car actually tempts me away from the S-class just a little bit...Then I remember that their is a S65 AMG ( ). I still wouldn't mind driving this car though. Really is a work of art.

Well, there has to be a limit to the madness, even at M.

After seeing the X6 and X5 go M, BMW has no excuse in the world that it can hide behind. That whole philosphy was based of that weight BS. If Alpina can successfully produce a tuned 7 series, then M has no excuse.

"Oh were not trying to "//M" all of our cars like AMG". Their so busy "not" trying to be Mercedes-Benz that their missing the point. Ultimate Driving Machine...uh huh. Well see....

Thanks to Alpina (not M) we have it!
