The front fascia looks 10 years old.
It's a nice idea, but I just don't seem to think there's even demand from a thousand buyers for this type of car... unless the badge has a shield with a black horsey on it that hails from either Zuffenhausen or Maranello.
It already comes with Alpina wheels anyway.
It can be one of several simultaneous uses for the Alpina brand, these and other things at the same time.Having said all that, if this was the kind of product that is exclusively branded as Alpina in the future, I'd be okay with that.

Yeah, I hear you. To me they are a mix of both and more of a modern take on Alpina's classic design mixed with the latest from BMW.Depends how they price it really. They'd easily sell 1000 of them if it was essentially just a Z4 M40i Coupe and priced as such, but limiting it will allow them to jack the price up, the question is does that then rule it our for too many buyers. Genuinely adding value by having some properly bespoke options could help... but it'll still look like a fancy Z4 sDrive20i that likely won't outperform an M40i.
I'm not a massive fan of it, but I hope they make it.
People keep saying that, but anything other than a cursory glance shows they're very different to Alpina's Dynamic style wheels...

They're more like the 863M's with a couple of filler spokes in each 'Y', IMHO.
