I used to have a b7, I miss it....but it got lemoned, and replaced with an e60 m5 cuz they couldn't get us another b7.

The car and wheels looks perfect! Nice contrast. The wheels 20's?

BulletproofM · 04-05-2010, 11:59 AM

Great pictures! That B7 is a beast! Is the black E92 yours? It looks great man!

Nice shots!

SlammedR8 · 04-05-2010, 12:46 PM

i like the B7 too, but I HATE the wheels. Alpina needs to change up their wheel. It doesn't even look allllllllll that bad on the B7, but when I saw the 3 series with those wheels, I nearly threw up!

endofanera7 · 04-05-2010, 03:39 PM

Nice cars and photos...

OMID INC · 04-05-2010, 03:40 PM

both look good

Maseroche · 04-06-2010, 01:56 AM

Beautiful cars! Love both and a longtime fan of Alpina.

MrHarris · 04-06-2010, 03:38 AM

Love the finish on the 710's.

The wheels look great on a big body car, they really grew on me, at first it was meh but once u see them in person they are really sexy.

how do you post this and not compare the 2? i imagine the b7 is a luxury car superbeast. does the m3 feel unrefined compared to it?

We didnt get a chance to make a real run but it holds on strong, the M def. feels much leaner. In terms of refinedness thats like comparing apples to oranges, the M3 is a much more nimble made for the track kind of sports car, and the b7 is a luxury big body saloon that just happens to go really really fast.

If given the choice, B7, perhaps even the new b7, id still choose my M over it.

Aston Martin Rapide or f458 Italia?

Powerbeast · 04-08-2010, 11:08 AM

Looks great but I still rather drive the M

Agreed. I'd definitely rather have the M3 but you can't help but admire the B7. That car is just too nice for it's own good!

I like your M buddy. Colour is great.

Makes me think about my first E46 M3 in Carbon Black. Same color as Jerez
