I've only seen 2. 1 at the dealership and 1 at the Downtown Disney parking lot. I see a lot more B7s. Sad they're not true true Alpina's as they're built by BMW and not by Alpina at their plant besides the engine.
funny thing is the center cap is flimsy AF, making for really annoying 'taptaptaptap' sounds under 25mph. Otherwise, It has been great. 5 years & going strong.
Love the wheels on both cars. The Alpina wheels are timeless & the optional 21's on the RS7 fit the car perfect. As a M6 Gran Coupe owner who also considered the RS7, I'd like to see an M6GC vs RS7 comparo now. To see how they stack up.
Bruno Varandas M6 GC is very nice, sporty and luxury car, in my opinion M6 GC is a bit higher regarding luxury than Rs7, but Rs7 especially C7.5 has something new, sporty futuristic design, only that optics are outstanding in which not only Rs7, but audi is leader since first A5 was launched in 2007, M6 GC is outstanding supercar, but Rs7 especially C7.5 is more exotic and cocky,it’s just my opinion and nothing more, wish you all best
Nice comparison. I agree with your friend, the Alpena is better after depreciation. The rims are timeless on the B6 and you didn’t mention that the engine is hand built! Im split between them. Midwest roads suck so comfort suspension is nice but 190+ top speed is ridiculous the low end power of the RS7 is more useable. Both are a dreams compared to my daily driver.
That Audi is very verrrryyyy nice and I am bmw guy. Btw 2016 b6 alpina has 600 hp and 590 torque. The b6 is by no means a basic bmw besides those two bmw badges/ the bare body style of the 650x. The car is built by hand. Just 1700 alpina vehicles were produced that year by just over 200 employees. The b6 is rare and imo eye candy compared to the Audi. However, that Audi is nearly flawless and would gap the alpina more than Cindy from grade school with her two front teeth before she got braces.
How do the maintenance costs compare? I’m actually looking at an M6 or RS7 but I’m concerned about outrageous regular maintenance and expendable costs, ie brakes/rotors etc. Any input for either model would be appreciated. The other concern is the gearbox. I’ve heard the m6 is brutal to drive with the double clutch.
Im in the same boat. Looking at 15-17 model year M6 GC & RS7. And the M6 can be a little jumpy in bumper to bumper traffic, its part of the sporty character if you can dig it. The RS7 is the smoother of the two. All wheel quick starts vs the ability to drift the tail out. Its going to be my birthday present to myself.Good luck hunting !
Rollz 100 - sounds like you’ve heard the same thing. I think the Audi is the way to go, especially in Canada, as a daily drive. I believe the brakes/rotor costs are comparable at about $2500-$3000, but I think that’s for fronts only.
If you want low over head on.maintenance and still have power the looks etc I say go with infiniti or Lexus RC line ...reliable and not money pits like these two cars in the video ...imo
@@darrellmatthews5594 Infiniti?? What model have they ever made that is in the same stratosphere as an RS7? And Lexus RC is a real stretch, performance not in the same league. RC is an S6 competitor. I won’t argue with you on reliability though.
just be quiet and let the man speak. Looking at the camera, nodding constantly, saying "yeah, yeah" over and over again doesn't help get a point across.
I just bought a new S4 and for some reason couldn’t stand the new Quantum Gray. It has a brownish tone to it vs the Nardo. Ended up with a Tango Red one, by far the best (non-custom) color made for the B9 in my opinion.
Do you guys take any extended warranty for those cars and if yes what is your recommendation to use. I am asking because looking to trade my `15 535i for M5 and not sure with whom to go.
2016 B6 or newer jumps from 540hp and 540lb tq too 600hp and 590lb tq and is a lot faster probably would definitely beat the rs7 in every way if you go 2016 or newer
Alpina B6 is better vehicle, it is not a tuned M6. RS7 is a great vehicle but this is apples vs. Oranges. M6 is better comparison to RS7 not Alpina B6.
Is it just me or we just have a bunch of BMW fan boys here? The ALPINA..looks like every BMW 7-series since 2008. They all look the same--It's all a nothing-burger. You cannot compare these two cars together--no matter how modified that BMW is. The RS7 is wayyyy out of its league. Want the proof? Race them!🤣🤣
What are you talking about? The Alpina is a beast for a daily driver unlike other bmw's. Second, real car enthusiast would never compare any regular bmw to an Alpina there literally hand made. You probably don't own one my m6 broke down all the damn time. Not saying it's better than Rs7 but, stop hating.
Alpina is about the engine not looks (except interior). It is bespoke. You want flashy, look at M. Everyone knows M is relative to RS, not sure why they compare with Alpina.
Alpina B6 allllllll the wayyyyyyy!!!! Rare car. Never see them on the road. That exterior color. Come on!!!
I've only seen 2. 1 at the dealership and 1 at the Downtown Disney parking lot. I see a lot more B7s. Sad they're not true true Alpina's as they're built by BMW and not by Alpina at their plant besides the engine.
Because their N63 is at the shop waiting for another engine out job 🤣
The wheels on all Alpina cars are baller
funny thing is the center cap is flimsy AF, making for really annoying 'taptaptaptap' sounds under 25mph. Otherwise, It has been great. 5 years & going strong.
flimsy = not gasketed
Alpina even in 2023 looks like a latest model, such a gorgeous car
i just get a 2016 b6, that car, damn really cool, love the most in my life so far, after i have x6m for the first and the s7 for the second
what really funny is every time i am on the road the car behind will keep away so far like 3-4 car distance, kinda cool and enjoyment
Going to look at a B6 tomorrow. Thank you for all of the content!
Both beautiful land yachts . B6 for me but that rs7 is something special 🔥
Very well said. Couldn’t agree more 👌

Go for 2016+ B6, the power delivery is better, bigger brakes, more horsepower, wider wheels and trans refinement...
Alpinas (note spelling) do not depreciate. They only make 1000 per year.
I'm 63 ... Alpina for me all the way.
You can't compare the Alpina with an RS7 bro, it doesn't go together, Alpina is a special breed. M6 goes with the RS7
Audi looks cheap inside , and outside looks like VW aerton which costs 50k less than a7. Otherwise I like more because of the hatchback door .

Rs7 FTW
Yeah, if you want a numb driving experience. Sure, the RS7 is fast and it looks great, but it’s more of a missile than the B6.

is it me or does the color of the front bumper of the b6 not match the color of the hood?
waitwuttt it’s been replaced by the previous owner which is why it was the lowest priced b6 on the market at the time of purchase.

Man that Alpina's owner do know a lot !
Great video
Is it true you need 98 octane for best performance in the B?
Do you prefer the analog or digital dash displays? I get the appeal of both.
Look at those rs
Rs7 beast mode
No comparison Eddie. Your RS7 is bad ass. Cheers.
I'll take the BMW
It's an ALPINA...
@@mrarrow3279 STFU
The difference is obvious. The rs7 appeal to younger crowds like people in their 30s and the alpina appeal to people in their 50s and up
I'm 52 and RS7 all day long.
RS7 100% but y’all already knew that lol
But the RS7 needs some carbon fiber mirror caps
I know, they need a room!
I just bought a new S4 and for some reason couldn’t stand the new Quantum Gray. It has a brownish tone to it vs the Nardo. Ended up with a Tango Red one, by far the best (non-custom) color made for the B9 in my opinion.
Quantum gray is the wannabe nardo lol. Congrats on the new car!
I like the grey man it’s nice 👍🏿
Thanks!

Why no drag race?
So a whole video of very lightly complementing the alpina while constantly saying it's inferior to the RS7 at the same time.
To mutch talking to litlle racing. Still I'll take an audi over a bmw all day every day. Straight up
For luxury yes the B6 is alright, but let’s be real here, nothing can compare to the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, that is the real comparison.
Top speed of the RS 7 Performance is 190 mph.
What about Audi A8L w12?
The audi looks better
The Alpina b6 has 600 hp, both the m6 & rs7 have 560hp.
Blue cool color
Dude, find another car to beat up on! RS7 is the BOSS!
The best one is the fastest, where’s the drag race?
Ya'll know ya'll wants Apple CarPlay.
Straight up
>:D great comparison!
If you like watching hype this video is for you.
The S8 or A8L W12 compares better with Alpina.. RS should be compared with M series
s8 or a8 w12 is a 7 series comparison not 6 series!!!
2016 B6 or newer jumps from 540hp and 540lb tq too 600hp and 590lb tq and is a lot faster probably would definitely beat the rs7 in every way if you go 2016 or newer
too much similarities between Audi and VW for them to really stand out to me. almost look the exact same
RS7.
I got 29.1 mpg with my RS7 on highway...
How. Lol
Alpina B6 is better vehicle, it is not a tuned M6. RS7 is a great vehicle but this is apples vs. Oranges. M6 is better comparison to RS7 not Alpina B6.
Hey man i think its time to get rid of those Honda rims..
He said it backwards the rs7 looks disgusting and old like a a7 but a little better the bmw 640 looks way better then the rs7
That bmw wayyyyy better 💯
The paint on the Audi is like a primer= Ugly.
Rims
What car parts are cheaper 🤣
It's just riced out BMW 6 series with Alpana rims.
Inaccurate statement
Alpinas are so overhyped, rs7 all day
No style rs7
That whole video and you didn’t race them ?
BMW looks like boring old mans car
First
