Extract from BMW Car
In the 1980s many people had money to burn, and it is thanks to them Alpina and Hartge found a ready market for their wild Fives.

Back in the 1980s economies were booming and there were plenty of well heeled individuals who were prepared to pay handsomely for something a little bit more exclusive than your standard BMW. Although the original M5 was not a run of the mill machine, both Alpina and Hartge offered alternatives which were snapped up by the rich businessmen after an individual touch. Given the excellence of BMW's own product could it be that two small but dedicated manufacturers could actually improve on the M5?

The above extract went on to say 'no one would believe this car could frighten any supercar you wish to name. It should therefore come as no surprise that the B7 Turbo was much quicker than Munich's finest put quite simply, the performance of the Alpina is awesome 0-125mph in 17 secs and a top speed of 168mph is simply super car performance'

When I first drove one of these cars I simply could not believe the performance. It completely annihilated an E34 M5 3.8 we had in stock.Suffice to say the acceleration rivals that of a 964 RS Carrera. One of our cars was road tested in BMW Car Feb 2000 and we have copies of the road test for any potential buyer.
