Alpina don't sell in volume here.

IIRC, for the most part, their offerings are out-performed by (or equal to) factory M cars. IMO Hartge traditionally make the real monsters.

Alpina appeal to people who want to be different and are prepared to pay for it. Tricky residuals too.

I see the lux spec Alpina Z4 is

Are the Alpina models meant to be more refined M models. Every Alpina comes with an auto box IIRC??

I love the subtle looks of the Alpina, they always turn my head, but the performance is not the best.

The 3 series models are sold with "Switchronic" i.e. an auto where yu can change the gears manually via switches either side of the steering wheel.

Completely un-related.
Don't you just effing hate those ads that popup over the top of a web page and you can't get rid of the s0dding things, to actually see the page your looking at, until a close button turns up somewhere.
