Looks like a sweet upgrade to me!!!! Any reason you are staying with white instead of black or Alpina blue?

I think it looks great. I hate dark colored rims.

Talking

Okay... okay... I jest! Sorry!
I couldn't help it!!!

I did get an opportunity to drive one at my dealer by the owner in for service. We got into a conversation and he offered to go for a spin. And OMG.... It is nucking futs!!! The B7 is so quick and agile it seriously does not feel or drive like a sedan. It actually accelerates just as ferocious as the M5 I was really considering earlier this year!
Well the thing is... They are so damn rare and hard to come by. BUT... I am indeed keeping my eyes peeled for one FYI.
I have been so impressed with my car and the service that if I can't track down one of these bad boys, I will most likely obtain a M5.
Either car must be White on Black or White on Chocolate.

By the way this lovely machine was parked at a local hangout the other day.

I got to drive that beast myself a few days ago here (pics inside) https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=353400

The Alpina handles like sooooo well with the power to match!

This car is an unbelievable drive.. Night & day difference between this and the sport pack 7. If you have the cheddar there is nothing better

I've seen only 2 of the ALPINE B7, a blue one at my old job and a black one at the gas station, don't care for the wheel design but that white with the color matched rims looks perfect
