Default alpina B7 drool...

We have 3 Alpina's at our dealership.. one weird blue one was just sold today to someone from LA.

Here's a pic of the black one I drool over every day. Priced at 117k!

sorry for the crappy pix: took with my camera phone.

Someone else here in SF has an alpina with really nice rims other than the stockies.

Can we get a picture of the blue one? Or is it gone?

Local dealer has an 07 he can't get rid of - if it was blue, I would be tempted to at least look at it.

...especially considering used 7 series with 22" rims are going for mid 20's, and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I thought the Alpina changes the BMW badge to the Alpina badge?

ugh...
Read what I was responding to

We are comparing the Alpina 7 to a used 745/750. The Alpina may look similar but it drives totally different - new or used, does not make a difference.

Here's the Alpina...

I only got 1 pic as that is the owner peeking into the back passenger side.
He whisked it away only a few moments later.
