Default Spy Shots: Alpina B4 Coupe

Alpina B4 coupe will be your subtle M4

This B4 Coupe was recently spotted testing at the Nürburgring. It looks pretty tame compared to the normal 435i, the only visual additions being the Alpina-standard 21-spoke wheels, modified front lip and rear wing spoiler. But under the hood, Alpina is reportedly working on a tuned, twin-turbo straight-six that produces something like 410 horsepower. That means the B4 should be good for a 0-62 time of 4.2 seconds, with a top speed around 190 mph. Rear-wheel drive will be standard, though our spies suggest that Alpina could also use all-wheel drive here in the B4.

I simply don't understand Alpina. They offer so little for the price increase - most of it simply new badges.

One of those "names" that people don't mind shelling out extra dough for I guess
