Great cars but I think the comment about Ferrari owners using them as their main car sums up the wealth bracket you must need to be in to run a 100k estate as your daily whip!
I find these cars a strange proposition 90-100k for a car that is trying to be daily useable and exciting/ great to drive.
Against splitting that 100k and putting it into a daily estate car that’s more economical and you wouldn’t mind filling full of crap to go the the tip the leaving it in a busy car park somewhere. Plus a dedicated 2 seater sports car for pure driving fun.

That stopped a little suddenly. As ever, Autocar videos lacking in a little polish. If one man bands like Jayemm can manage this, surly you can Had a couple of Alpinas ( B10 3. 3 B10 V8s ) back in the early noughties. They were great mile munchers in those days and suitably different from the M cars ( had an E39 M5 before. But now, with everything being adjustable, they are harder to justify. Sad to see them go but totally understand why.

Unfortunately the life timing is wrong for me to get one. I really hope you are wrong about BMW just making it an exclusive trim line. Do you really think they are going to throw away Alpina's OEM status The chance to do a new B5 without the battery or something like that as a separate low volume OEM they could do some great low volume cars without the 15k penalty or the numbers hindering their normal production

Waat a disgusting Sound of the commentator which hurts my ears and zero sound of this fantastic car which has Sound in Reality. And the technical data mentionned is wrong Alpina has completely revised the engine with new turbos, new exhausts, better cooling systems and completely revised electronic which is far better then the M3.

Most beginners/amateurs focus so much on the video that they neglect or otherwise completely screw up the audio. Seems like that’s what happened here. In fact, I see this often from so-called content creators. They’re so pleased with themselves, 4k! yet the audio sounds like it was recorded on a garage sale cassette deck.

A fabulous review of an equally fabulous vehicle. I shall scratch that Alpina itch one day, for sure. I've not heard/ seen this guy who's reviewing before; he's really good though. And don't worry about the sound quality, who on earth cares. These cars - & this one in particular - are sublime. and this is the last one.

Good video, but my word, sort your sound recording out. Really unprofessional and a chore to watch/listen to. Sounds like you were using a computer's webcam mic to record, shocking. Alpina's are wonderful, i can imagine with BMW now owning the name, they will migrate M cars to Alpina I guess

Mediocre review of a fantastic car. Were you given exclusive in this Surely given it’s the very last proper Alpina you could have done better. I hope you are doing a full road test the car deserves it

Yet another potentially engaging posr by Autocar marred by atrocious audio. If they dont get their act togethe rthey will disappear into oblivion. How with todays tech can they get it so wrong.

The presenter's audio literally sounds like he's phoning it in. Given that a lot of your videos are bone-dry anyway, this was harder to finish watching than Alpina estate review ought to be.

The audio quality really undermines what could otherwise be a great video. It’s been years of people saying this. It got better briefly last year but this one is really tough to listen to

I live Alpinas but the production quality on this video was terrible and just couldn’t watch it listen to it. My daughters TikTok’s have better sound and quality!

D3S Touring is the jewel in the crown. I am going to look out for one as my retirement car next year. Should be good for 10 years as ICE dies out in favour of EVs

On looks, torque, top speed. Alpina over M4 all day everyday. ' Alpina Classic ' sounds like a great enterprise. Forget ev's. that ship sailed and ran aground.

Where is the glory of the Autocar's video of the past
While the infos contained in the video are great, the video itself is not worthy of Autocar. And ALPINA.

sadly had to stop watching after 3 minutes - couldn’t take any more of a terrible video, awful sound & out of focus images. Autocar can do much better

Love the way how the driving is fast but still using finger tips to steer the car using the lavalina steering wheel. The sound in my e46 B3S is pretty good.
