A-ha I got your attention, right?

It's actually the Alpina B7. Why do they call it Alpina B7? Mercedes is consistent with AMG nomenclature ... why is BMW confusing us? I think they should have called it the M7.

Talking about nomenclature, I insist the 335i coupe should have been 435i. It's a different car (different body style, and different face). Yes, it's the same engine, but look at the 5 and 6 series. Again, lack of consistency.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.
