Sport Auto - BMW Alpina D5 Biturbo vs. BMW M550d x-Drive

Gotta love Alpina's. Too bad i cant read german

In short: they made an already perfect car even better.

Awesome, can't wait for that one!

Will be interesting to see it compared against the M550d because outputs aren't a million miles apart and one would expect the M550d to benefit off the line to begin with due to xDrive but the Alpine to come back as the speed builds. It will also be interesting to hear which is preferred in the handling department.

AutoZeitung numbers.
0-100 km/h: 5,1 s
0-200 km/h: 21,5 s
