Guess Alpina will clear up with the B3 bi turbo then
That is unless the F31 M Performance model is something very special (if it's ever announced). Any news on it yet?

Oh yes! This real M car would sell very good. But those irresponsible guys in Munich are so fixed on previous misexperiences about sales figures of a E61 M5, that they will not bring this F31 M3........unfortunately!
They will eventually loose quite many customers to both Audi (RS4....absolutely fantastic car) and Alpina B3 Biturbo. The later, just revealed at Geneva Motor show, points with a N54 real double turbo inline 6 version with 410 HP and 600 Nm torque, allowing a 0-100 km/h of only 4.2 sec while top speed ranks at 302 km/h for the X-drive.
Since this is convincing, BMW M lost one more customer. I already test drove the RS4, waiting now for the test of the Alpina before taking a final decision on which one to order.
The only decision already taken is : good bye M.
As Munich
As Munich continues investing time and money in market research to bring more stupid models like 1 GT, 3 GT, 5 GT.....at the end those are all just unemotional pieces of waste, that are not part of BMW's identity....their clear goal is just to raise The brand to the same level of mass production than many other producers.
The policy of high productivity bringing enormous dividends to shareholders is more present in Munich than ever before......NO MORE SHEER DRIVING PLEASURE
