Can anyone tell me about the 5.7? Better than the CSI?

thanks, John

Stunning. I have gone back to look at it again 4 times.

I wish I had and extra $300k laying around. But I do have to say that I like Rodger's interior much better. Also, it says "desirable manual transmission". Did they make an Alpina in automatic?

Over 1/2 of the Alpina B12 5.7's were equipped with Alpina's unique Shiftronic. VERY expensive to repair, and essentially only the Alpina factory can do it = $$$$$$$$$. My car originally was equipped with one, but was taken back to Alpina by a previous owner at 22K Km and converted back to the 6-speed.

I try to head down to Daytona every year for a month or two, so I may bother you one year just to get a first hand look (I'm sure all the pics don't do it justice).

Absolutely. We are about an hour away.

The B12 5.7 is a CSi. It was modified by Alpina to produce 410 HP with 420 Tq. If you have one with the 6-speed, it's better than the CSi in almost every way.
