Sytner are hoping on that F11 D5 tourer at £30k. Just a bit. It's a pretty basic spec, my 535d had more kit and that would be worth about £30 now! |

D5s all had piss poor spec. I specced a G31 B5 touring and for the additional hundred or so a month a great spec would cost over a good spec I couldn’t see the point of skimping - a minor percentage difference.

They did, but no worse than standard M Sport iirc? The latest one is a bit better with Nappa and a few other bits plus you can add options individually which helps, but it's easy to get past £75k. The B5 estate is an easy £115k even if you stay away from the Alpina colours and leather. Do Alpina offer discounts in the UK? |

Do Alpina offer discounts in the UK? No chance. That’s one of the big issues. 50% more for an Alpina over a stock M Sport is acceptable(ish) but after discounting it’s more like double. You’ve really got to WANT a new Alpina. |

You’ve really got to WANT a new Alpina. But then surely the point is that the people who buy them do want them hence they can charge extra. If they didn't their cars would just be a higher performance non M BMW but the company prides itself on its models being much more than that. |
