Long-term Alpina B4 S leaves today.
If you've been keeping up with the mag you'll know what a phenomenal car it is. Cruises at 40mpg, hit 201mph on the autobahn, super-comfy, handles, looks mega but no M-car stigma. Will be missed. #Alpina
A great opportunity to listen to our client Drive System Design at #LCV2019 as it discusses EV NVH optimisation. Contact us for interview slots.

Perhaps Alpina should have done something like the old B3 GT3 for the final B4 S. Edition 99 is pretty special though. Maybe the perfect daily. Story:

Nabbed @_rlane_ 's B4 S to finally pop my Alpina cherry. Supremely lovely thing. Devastatingly fast yet docile and comfortable when you want it to be. And very cool. Tough one to give back - B3 S Touring right near the top of the Want List.

Coolest BMW of the past two days is nowhere near BMW Welt; it’s the green with tan and wood Alpina B5 loitering outside Munich airport (in sunlight that makes it impossible to shoot). Stand up and take a bow, brilliant, brilliant German person that you are.

At ‘work’ today for @BicesterH #SundayScramble. Not at my usual desk but I’ll settle for the view out the main @NewspressC @MarketEng office... #Alvis #classiccars
Although our focus is very much on future automotive technology we also appreciate the more simple things in life #SundayScramble
