I would definitely get an Alpina B8 over the M8 Competition. Now if I was cheap, I would settle for the M850i, which is a perfectly fine car to have. The competition for the B8 (IMHO) is the Mercedes AMG GT 63S, (maybe) the Audi S8 or S7, Porsche Panamera Executive, and Bentley Continental GT (on the high end). Good review by the way. Informative and to the point!
Alpina B8 is a perfect business-suit for high performance over a 10 hour drive. BMW M8 Competition is a noisy and roaring version for those who never drive a long distance or never care about neighbors or others. Don't get me wrong: The M8 is a great car - but Sound doesn't mean FAST.
Alpina! The M8 Comp is too firm for a daily driver. I also like the Alpina styling in the rear better. This is my favorite 4 door car in production right now. Nothing else is close.
In Germany the Alpine B8 is fitted with black paddles in cnc milled alumina steel. They look mega perfekt!!! The B8 is a Sportswear in a business-suit and fits to all of my needs: Sport, City, Racing and driving the kids to school. In Germany we have 621hp (my version is tested with 639 HP), because of different emission-rates in our country. I installed me a Speedmeasurement-Device to my iPhone. As by today the car has 2.000 KM (1.250 mls) and is was the first time I performed a "Kickdown" with the Gaspaddel from a standing start.: 3,7s and 52 Meters Distance (150 ft) from 0 to 100 (62,5 mls/h) without any Launch-Control and the road-surface was slightly damp. Difference from 100 KM/h (62,5 mls/h) to 200 KM/h (125 mls/h) is 7,1s. When I reach 3.000 KM at all i test the Launch-Control first time.
If I didn't watch this review I would've never known. All this time I thought the alpina was all name with minor cosmetic changes. I love your reviews bro it covers all aspects. You're on the path to greatness. Keep up the good work. I'm just happy to say I was here from the beginning.
I think it’s too hard to compare between the b8 or the M8 , But in my opinion The M Emblem on any BMW car make it top of the line over The Alpina even if it cost more money to buy it
M brand is too watered down lately, just look at the disastrous XM SUV. Alpina is still pure luxury and not something you will see collecting dust at used car dealers.
Omar, I am looking at ordering one of these. How is the ride on the 21" wheels?? I am think of going with the 20 inch wheels for a better ride and less chance of destroying a wheel.
Thank you for covering the cruise control. Cruise control is a big convenience on highways, and the motion of a car is fundamental to a car, as in "auto" - "mobile". The cruise controls should perforce be on the steering wheel, under one''s thumb (ideally, on the right, but left is acceptable, too). I do not understand why some manufacturers (like Porsche? Toyota?) put telephone and sound system buttons on the wheel, then subordinate the cruise controls to them! I have a phone in my office, and a sound system in my home. When I'm on the road, in traffic with pedestrians omnipresent, or on the freeway with 16-wheelers, I want to hear what's going on around me - not my girlfriend or an opera!
Alpina is not a tuning company, Alpina is registered as a vehicle manufacturer. For that reason the Alpina vehicles VIN/chassis number is not a BMW number but Alpina number. 😁
Hey man Alpina is a great car of its kind, but it’s not comparable to M8 competition, mine has more options that this Alpina and overall the M8 looks way better than Alpina B8
$40,000 for a front lip, a diffuser, an ugly spoiler, exhaust tips, better engine cooling, an ECU remap with warranty, a set of softer suspensions and a set of wheels over an M850i. I would say the price is reasonable if the M8 doesn’t exist.
Would you buy the Alpina B8 over the BMW M8 Competition? Let me know!
Definitely. Alpina are more exclusive and rare and offer more comfort.

Hay man , this is one of the best Alpina reviews I ve seen . Respect, subscribed.
I really appreciate that bro 🙌

Amazing review. You're paying for the best of both worlds.
Appreciate that! I know this is really the most perfect car I’ve driven this year

@@cordellxo thanks for that man! Really appreciate that a lot 🙌
Just bought the M8 Gran Coupe. I wasn't looking for a softer version of the car. I'm sure it's fantastic and it fits a niche. Nice review.
Got a 2008 Alpina B3biturbo, love it, my 5th BMW great cars.
gorgeous and so fast
omar! i do really like your videos i hope your channel to grow huge!!!
It looks amazing in that colour, I’ll take the dark grey alloys and make it perfect. Oh and different colour interior
In the BMW family this is the person that's the coolest but stays lowkey 😂
Hahaha perfect way to describe it
As a former Alpina owner (15 B6) I love this!
Nice! Thanks for watching 🙌
Stunning vehicle wow
It definitely is

If they should have added the full sunroof it will be more magnificent
0:38 background music name please..??
Good.

Except in North America
Alpina is not a tuning company. Alpina is an official car manufacturer!! Great video though
Okay, so if I purchase one of this pricey beast. Does it come with a Yacht??
Xdrive?
Hey man Alpina is a great car of its kind, but it’s not comparable to M8 competition, mine has more options that this Alpina and overall the M8 looks way better than Alpina B8
Why am i first when its 56 mins lol
Lol thanks for being first
No sunroof? 😖
Good.

Caption "The perfect car does exist" Then begins to find fault in car. Asinine
BMW has purchased Alpina and plans to close the factory. The future of Alpina models and support for existing and prospective customers is unknown.
*NOT* a tuning company!!!
