European standard F90's have a petrol particulate filter and have 600PS (592bhp)

The rest of the world cars don't have a petrol particulate filter and have 608PS (600bhp)

It is indeed.

As I said, this car was advertised for sale a couple of weeks ago and our registration numbers (generally) stay with the car, so we can look up the VIN number from the registration number.

Registration: YK18HZG
VIN: WBSJF02060GA02709

So would the B5 best the (non comp) M5 in a straight line, given the marginally larger power and greater torque?

Its so minimal it would be down to who puts the throttle on first.

Alpina use their own pistons and rods so potentially it might handle more power better than the M5.

Best looking M5 IMHO, and 4 secs faster than the F10 M5 around the Grand Tour track.
