Hi Denis,
There is a big difference between the //M5 and
the Alpina. The //M5 to me is more of a relaxed
but stiff runner, like an on/off switch you can
turn it on and it is a handful to beat, the Alpina is an off the line runner and has a steady and constant power band. The torque is no where close to the Alpina //M 295 vs Alpina 385, they are 2 totally different runners. The gear boxes are so different the Alpina has a close ratio racing getrag dogleg tranny, and the //M has a standard motorsport tranny. Both do what they were designed to do. I actually was comparing to the almighty E39 M5 not E34. I love the E34 M5
True it does not that //M feeling, but if you ever owned or drove an Alpina "it has That Alpina feeling". I love my //M5 interior it is cloth soo
comfortable. See picture....Don't get me wrong
I am not Bashing //M5s Just a proud owner of both.

Hi there!
I think you're a little too optimistic with the numbers....it should be about the same as E34 M5 in my opinion. But if you own both, you know better I guess....How do they compare? Does it have ///M feeling? I doubt it...
