Where an M5 is focused on handling , power , speed , and hardcore driving, an alpina B5 for example is focused on luxurious, relaxed , fast highway driving...

Keep it up 🔥🔥🔥
Happy to hear that you like my G Wagon. It's a winch attached to the bullbar. I've converted the back into a camper. Come on by for a ride in the tin can mate. I'm over in Germany, slightly north near the Dutch border.
Cant believe my autozam got featured! I'll concede that "super car" might be a bit of a stretch. But if you're ever in the Detroit area Sam and want to see just how small it really is I'm always happy to show it off!
Alpinas' in Australia aren't common as they only began to officially sell them in 2017 (hence my dads car being a 2017 model and also the first customer delivered model in Australia). As a result of a poor reception in the car market, their values also haven't done very well. For reasons as to why you would buy one over the M variant (especially the F series M4) is the ride quality and power delivery is much more tuned towards comfort and touring, making a better every day car, but still having the power to really have some fun. thanks for talking about the car!
The B3 touring I’d suggest is a better all rounder than an M3 Touring. Still ballistic but rides well, looks a bit more subtle and will remain more exclusive as in comparison they will sell way more M cars. People who buy ALPINA cars tend to do relatively big mileages in them and keep them for longer as they are not frequently bought on 3 year finance packages. I always wanted an Alpina but have never been interested in M cars. I think they are a far more interesting proposition.
In the background of the Alfa Sportswagen. An even rarer car, a Triumph Vitesse Estate. I didn’t even know they made one. Swing axle crash awaiting to happen but so rare.
Yeah really wish he'd drop the recast stuff. Could easily do livestreams, chats, polls etc on UA-cam then upload the recording after for those who miss it. I appreciate he needs to pay for his channel, but this feels like a stretch of a brand deal
@@CB21001 he might just dislike the thought of being completely dependent on a single platform, UA-cam. Which is understandable. But the fact of the matter is, that YT is the number one and nothing comes close, no matter how much creators wish for another platform.
Yes to the 918 giveaway. OR a better idea for the subscribers that contribute: sell the 918, and buy three 911s and give those away (like a 911 Turbo, a GTS, and a Carrera S). So more people get to get a chance to win a car.
I really think you should find fascination in the Pre-WWII cars…There wasn’t much coverage, because there were only magazines and newspapers… Pre-War cars are a whole new chapter…car guys were alive and innovative and excited, then as now… Let me suggest Avions-Voisin as a true eye-opener..? The PAGANI of the 1930’s… Also, HOTCHKISS…the birth of the Sport-Sedan…winner of many Monte-Carlo rallies?
Sigh… missed the rate my rides again 😅 although not like I could have taken a picture since I crashed it. Had a 2017 Lexus IS 300 fsport. Placed an order for a MK8 GTI but gonna be 12 month wait. Any other suggestions? Live in Canada
Stick a GT3 double wishbones on the front of the Turbo S instead of the McPherson Struts and would transform and a decent exhaust and the Turbo S would be the ultimate 911 IMO
@@abagley2334 Agreed, but as per what Tony was saying about the Turbo S... GT3 is double wishboned in the front and would transform the car to "what he's after" personally I'd rip your arm off for a turbo S 😉Thanks for the reply, have a good day sir.
Don’t rip my arm off please!…that was my car!! It has a full Kline exhaust…so good. Yeah I’m sure the steering/pointy-ness could be improved by modern gt3 standards.
and here i am seriously considering buying a 2024 nissan gtr which is more or less a 16 year old car. lol. it is really a simple thing... it is like buying a brand new classic car. there are lots of older cars i would love to buy factory new today. (all my friend think i am nuts) :D
So for the 918 Spyder subscriber crowd-funding project - If you were to drive out and give every paying subscriber a 15 minute ride, and figuring an average of half an hour of driving to and from their location, that's over 39,000 hours of your time, or almost 20 years of full-time working hours. That's quite a commitment!
Late 1970s, inflation and energy issues, we started driving hot hatches. Would love the new Civic type R. Until then we got a hyundai i20N. 3 kids in the back. LSD. Turbo. Sweet.
I think you would need to get some legal stuff sorted to give away a 918 because sounds like a lottery to me. But I would definitely do 20 Pounds for you guys to do it hah
But have you done the math on the 918? Last episode you said you would give a ride to every subscriber. Let's do some math
Number of subscribers Time per subscriber in seconds Total time in seconds Total time in hours Total time in days Total time in days, assuming 10 hours of work a day 53000 1 53000 14.72 0.6 1.5 53000 10 530000 147.2 6.1 14.7 53000 60 3180000 883.3 36.8 88.3 53000 300 15900000 4416.6 84.1 441.7 53000 600 31800000 8833.3 368.1 883.3 That's ofcause only the you have to spend driving with subscribers. Assuming each drive is 3 miles. You will put 159 000 miles on the car
Alpina's tend to be the fast luxury versions of the M cars..............and tend to trade on the IF YK YK vibe...........will be interesting IF BMW make a Horlicks of it
I like the idea of a Chanel supercar that could be raffled off at the end to the people who each bought a ticket! Could be achievable if you do something like a 458? Modern classic kind of thing and you wouldn’t need so many people to donate! Especially if it’s a car Tony may be able to pick up ‘in the trade’.
all the people in the live chat saying they wouldn’t buy an Aventador are just saying that because of what Sam and Tony have said. Doubt any of them (in live chat) have even driven one. I’m not dumb enough to think I wouldn’t think it is amazing if I ever got behind the wheel of one.
"We'll give the 918 Spyder away" Uhhh Sam, we get that you and Tony have a healthy bank account, but giving away a _hypercar_ to a random subscriber is a HORRIBLE idea. Sure, great for clicks, great idea, but what are the chances the winner can actually AFFORD a 918 spyder? What's a service cost for those? Couple of grand? That's my monthly income. What's that thing cost to insure over in the UK? That's got to be a few thousand a year as well right? Fuel? Probably insanely expensive as well. Fun idea, but not practical in the least bit, unless you two are willing to front the cost of maintenance and insurance. The only thing you'd be doing is giving away the 918 for someone to instantly flip, because tell ya what, it'll be a live changing amount of money for someone, that's for sure, but they won't be driving it or enjoying it...probably.
In Germany I see maybe one Alpina per year and I live in Stuttgart and often visit family in Munich. In my opinion, if there is a regular M car of the specific car, they are pointless.
Another German here. Alpinas seem extremely rare. But I don't think they're pointless compared to the M cars, because Alpinas are more of GT cars. They're more Autobahn and less track than the M cars...
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 if you want a car to take to the track: you get the M version… if you want a car to mainly drive on the public roads: you get the Alpina version Easy as that🙌🏻 Love the Alpina cars!
While I think we would all love the chance to win a 918... What if everyone donated and you got the car, you guys made the content (a Euro trip with both of you in the 918 would be an amazing part of that as an idea), then sold the car off and donated the sale money to charity?

Absolutely agree... but the podcast is becoming money orientated ... cant have GT3s and Omegas without charging bud!
That Sierra’s worth around £120k! An 87 RS500 just sold for £600k!
When is Phil coming on the podcast?
If you can promise that, as a Scottish viewer/listener, I would definitely get a ride in the 918, then I’ll happily donate at least £20!
BMW are intending Alpina to be for them what Maybach is for Mercedes. Not to be a performance car, but instead to be their super luxury car brand.
Where can I sumbit my ride?
