Sports Car International. Alpina B7 best handling big sedan ever

The basically said this is the perfect big sedan. S/C V-8 for 500hp. Handles incredible for a big car with 21" wheels. They stated the 7 has aged poorly and the interior is awful and Alpina does a great job touching them up.

Overall, they loved how the car drove.

I saw 4 of them in the showroom of my local BMW dealership. Frd works there told me that it's very difficult to sell those##
I have seen way more S65 on the streets recently.

I've seen 4 in Atlanta in the past month, which is a big deal for a limited production car. I think its fantastic.

OMG you guys. I DROVE THIS THING 2 days ago. I took exit ramps at 110. 130 was incredibly quiet. 0-60 was fast but 60-120 was even more amazing. I am a BMW convert no questions asked. The ride was firm but supple. I loved this car. Still got 23 mpg when i cruised at 80mph. Overtaking was so simple.

I hate that I'm poor because i would go buy a white one right now if i had the funds. Lease deals are pretty sweet too. UGH why can't i be rich yo!

As i've said many times before. If i had to buy a new car, a BMW would be on top of the list.

I also drove a 535 smg. That thing is awesomely quick too. But there's somthing about big cars that i love so much.
