Currently enjoy the 850i vert, and looking to swap out an E63S daily driver. Convince me!

The E63S is a great vehicle. You just gotta pick where you wanna be on the spectrum of luxury sedan vs harsh sports car with 4 doors. The Alpina is quieter and softer than the E63. The B8 is smoother and a better daily driver in my opinion without giving up speed. It ups the 'special' cause your neighbor isn't going to have an Alpina. But if you want 'exciting' then you want the harsher AMG. If you want a similar vehicle to your E63 with a little more performance and a different look by paying a lot more, then get a GT63
There is also Brabus if you want a tuned Mercedes - would add that special aspect that Alpina adds to a BMW. Though I have no idea what a Brabus feels like to drive personally.
