    A comparison test between the B6 3.5 S, B10 BiTurbo and B12 5.0 to determine which is the sportiest Alpina. The B6 3.5 S has the bodywork and suspension of a DTM racecar coupled with the torquey 3.5 6-cilinder engine. Regarding the B10 BiTurbo, the most balanced turbocharged engine that Sport Auto has driven to date. The B12 5.0 is based on BMW's 750i flagship model and despite the high weight is very dynamic and agile.

    The conclusion is that each of these cars are the sportiest in their class. The only model the author wished for was the B6 3.5 S with BiTurbo engine.
