Alpina B3 50 years SA edition

Yeah I agree on the exclusivity. Personally I have just never really been a fan of the Alpina styling.

When exclusivity is overvalued 🤣

Guys talking like we talking about 1 of 50 Bugatti/Koenigsegg etc 💀

Again, I don't see what the point of the Alpina iqs at the same price as the M3 comp (or if you're in SA, 35-40% more )

I wouldn't even pay full loaded M340i money for this TBH.

Id take this all day LCI M340i or an Individual G80 M3 , specced in 1 of 1 configuration if you want exclusivity

If we are talking wagon Alpina against sedan m3, Alpina takes it for me but wagon for wagon, or sedan for sedan, m3 is choice.

It's not the same as the M3/4 its softer more refined less race car, very niche market but there is a market. It's like a GT3 vs a GT3 Touring

To me, this comparison would make more sense if the GT3 touring was based on a Carrera GTS and not an actual GT3. They didn't soften up an M4. They took an M340i (the softer, less race car option...) and added 100% to the price for bolt-on levels of performance gains (while making it look subjectively worse). Now we are debating about exclusivity, whether it is a softer M3 (rather than a tarted up M340i) and what the actual market is.

This thing is clearly stupid. Some "collector" will pay the enourmous premium and when they turn to flip it in 5yrs with 85km on the clock they'll discover that nobody really cares.

A GT3 Touring is identical to a GT3, as stated above this doesn't have an M engine and then just softened up suspension to make it more road pliable. This is just an M340i +++ with a huge price bump.

You'd need to have substantially more money than sense to buy this (and I don't think it looks that bad personally).

But people will buy it…. No matter what we think. But to your point they may get a shock when they try sell it years down the line 😂
