Alpina B5 BiTurbo Touring to Debut in Geneva

The touring variant (F11) of Alpina's B5 Bi-Turbo is set to debut at the Geneva Auto Show next week. The Alpina F11 B5 is expected to boast the same performance specs as the potent F10 B5 sedan - powered by a 500hp/516lb-ft 4.4L V8 twin-turbo, mated to a ZF 8 peed sport automatic transmission ("Switch-tronic").

0-100kmh (62 mph) is accomplished in 4.8 seconds, just 0.1 sec slower than the F10 B5 sedan. Top speed is 186mph.
Pricing starts at €98,800.

AMG exhaust tips anyone?

What I am wondering about these cars that you can buy already modified, is that you are probably paying more than it would be stock but it probably has no motorplan left, I wonder if alpina takes over the motorplan of something else the price has to be reduced by an fair amount.

AFAIK, Alpina takes over the motorplan, but it is still serviced at BMW...

I have to agree I also think the tourings are pretty awesome, but I really can't see myself getting a 5er newer than the e39 after I saw one (530d) in titanium silver and the M-tech kit this morning on my way to work, it just took my breath away how good it looks. No matter how good the e60 and F10 sportpacks look, they still ain't no e39 (plus there is the added bonus of the e39 looking awesome in pretty much any form)
