What you like or dislike about ALPINA or your ALPINA?
As above what you like or dislike about your ALPINA, or what you like and dislike about ALPINA in general?
I don't think this has been done before on the forum (happy to be corrected).
I can't say I thought of the question as the idea came from another forum.

I wish Id have stumped up the money for full Lavalina, as the interior of mine could feel more special.
It could sound better too. Although its good for a diesel I suppose.
And the F***ing stop/start being on automatically is really annoying.
Otherwise, I love everything about it!
...oh, apart from not being able to turn the traction off when its in sport mode for drivetrain only. I want to be able to 'do a skid' with the chassis in comfort.

I would like it to have a manual gearbox.
I love the colour - mora metallic.
I like that it doesn't have a sunroof.
Hi Burnham, I think I read somewhere once that the stop/start can be be programmed to be off as default.
Thanks nealpina, interesting thread.

Dislikes:
Getting hold of Alpina specific parts that even Alpina don’t know about!
Trying to keep a black car clean.
Likes:
The power.
The roof down (no sunroof issues here).
The interior feels special ( Lavalina II rocks)
Turning around to look at the old girl after parking her up.

I will echo Phil's comments - especially the specific parts bit, as I am discovering. It seems that the engine is a hotchpot of parts from 645s, 650s, Alpina's own (via third party manufacturers) and no doubt a host of other BMW models.PhillV8S wrote:B6s convertible

I have a solution to the cleaning bit - a full body respray in the coming yesrs!
I will also add to the likes:
The comfort, particularly when it comes to long distance drives
The hud
The wariness of other drivers, unlike an M car, no boy racers wanting to have a go and when it comes to drivers of more cultured cars (exception of a Mustang who was up for a blast) it is a case of let's gently proceed, nothing to prove!
