    M sport steering wheel has perforated leather
    The sport steering wheel doesn't.

    Love these Calvin. Proper nice daily, rare, under the radar, feels much more powerful than the numbers suggest (which granted diesel often does) but this is certainly a much quicker car than i think even BMW/Alpina advertised. Love the idea of giving it away. Great addition to the PoD's. Nice one.

  • @TheKatWeasel

    What I find strange about the Alpina lineups in this era was that they all seem to be really low spec, however it looks fantastic. This example doesn’t have xenon’s, either of the nav setups, no heated seats, no sunroof. I’m not sure from my perspective I’d rather have a normal bmw touring with great spec than an Alpina with lower spec but a price premium! But still a cool piece none the less.

      yeah and it kinda bothers me. My 2005 (although a 330i) E90 is way better equipped with sat nav, adaptive xenons, lumbar support and heated seats. But same goes for M3 E9x cars. I've been on a hunt for one and many M3 cars are lower spec than my 330i

    They buy a base spec SE car and then upgrade it from brand new zero miles. So what's the point in them buying the more expensive MSport cars to just junk all the same but more expensive parts during the upgrade.... It makes sense.
    Apline maps for engine and gearbox are kind of the pinnacle of BMW tuning, plus they use components that most tuners would fit like Bilstein suspension etc.
