The suspension geometry and the wheel and
tyre size suit the car better and the gearbox ratios and the whole set up is much better that the off the peg BMW and that is before I mention that fact that Alpina take the interior to bits and replace it with their own fantastic quality leather and dials and screw the car back together like no factory car will ever be.
The new saloon not only provides Mercedes customers with a choice of ten engines and three suspension variants, but also two design and equipment lines, 12 wheel /
tyre combinations in 16, 17, 18 or 19 - inch
size, twelve exterior paint finishes and six different seat upholstery materials in up to five colour combinations to
suit their individual preferences.
