Seriously, this is awesome!
The folks at Alpina, best known for making the closest we’ll ever get to seeing an M7, apparently got their hands on the new 5-series wagon to make the B5 Alpina
They tuned the standard 4.4 litre V8 to 506 horsepower and 516 pound feet of torque and mated it to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. 0-100 is expected to be under 5 seconds, which is pretty quick considering how much a 5-series wagon weighs.
In addition, the B5 Alpina gets all the typical exterior treatment such as an aero kit and the company’s signature 20 spoke wheels. It looks fantastic and is a great alternative to the family man that has petrol in his veins.
The B5 Alpina will make its official debut at the Geneva Auto Show.
