Alpina B8 at Bimmerlife

Interesting anecdote on starting prices stateside ...

Quote:

The Alpina B8 Gran Coupé has a starting MSRP of $139,900, but don’t forget about the $995 destination charge.
The numbers place the B8 directly between the $130,000 M8 Gran Coupé and its $144,100 competition derivative

Interesting to see an Alpina priced lower than an M Model Competition.

It's because it's based on the m850i Not m8.

I don't think anything can be based on an M car, as it is already a derived variant of a factory BMW model.
So Alpina has to be based on the 850i as is the M8, which makes the two a fair comparison.
