For all the money, I imagine the performance is a bit...lacking. Alpina this and Aplina that is nice and all, but since it is a mish-mash of various Alpina models and eras, and given how the Alpina cars usually aren't the biggest performers, I can't help but wonder if instead of buying "brand-name" parts, so to speak, they had instead invested the money into more customized parts and work, like an Alpha-N based S38 with everything to match. The interior work is quite nice, as is the paint, but I don't see the point in all the Alpina bits.

Shit, I really didn't want to comment on this topic as i have nothing against the car or price, but having just looked through the pics on ebay, what's with the automatic gear box? Surely if you were going to spend that much money on a resto of this kind, to make the car more desirable (not too mention, more enjoyable to drive), they'd have put a manual box in?

What I don't get (besides the interior) is all of this effort to put into interesting performance mods and then slapping an automatic in there...that is a head scratcher....

Heaven forbid I bring up something that was talked about 5 weeks ago. How dare I. Next time I post something I will comb through every page before hand to make sure it has never been talked about. Geez
