Trucks are made for hauling stuff. No one ever said they enjoy driving them unless that person was terrified bu lateral G forces or preferred bad rides to comfortable ones.

Alpina is exactly a “driver focused” luxurious and fast everyday driver enthusiast car.

Or B6, B3S and B4S, etc.

BMW dictates Alpinas offerings in the US market. So XB7 will be coming.

Who buys Corvettes?  

Well purchased, sir!

Shame that BMW sacrificed their lead in mass-production of CF chassis for no reason.
