Spent about 30 minutes in the old Photoshop mocking up what a convertible B8 may look like. It was tough to graft the rear ends together as the wheelbases are different, but hopefully you get the idea.

Meh...I love the M8GC but this just doesn't do it for me. I don't know why but I've never been too keen on any of the Alpinas. Saw an XB7 the other day and it just looked like a pimp mobile. Like if Don Magic Juan tricked out an X7. But as always, different strokes for different folks. I feel that Alpina and Maybach can't justify the price point. Perhaps sitting in one would change my mind but gimme a fully loaded M8 over this any day of the week.

Assuming that's a 36 month lease, you will pay $151,393.48 (plus tax) in total and then have to give it back, even though you literally paid for the entire thing.

You could finance a Huracan on a 60 month loan for that kind of scratch.

No kidding, that actually sounds like a much better idea

Their system seems to be locked on that payment amount per month

I changed the annual miles to 12 and then 150000 and the payment stayed the same

Almost like they figure they would have already scared you away with the ridiculous payment

Guarantee what happened was their estimate tool takes the MSRP, subtracts the residual for the mileage, adds in the base money factor and divides by the number of months. Only nobody put in the residual values (yet?) and computers default to 0 when you don't specify a number. So it did the calculations assuming exactly 0 residual.

My brother just picked up his M8 Comp and to be honest with you I prefer an actual M than a modified regular to ALPINA. My opinion.

B8 Spec in production now

Here's mine in Mineral White Metallic / Cognac Merino. Not sure why it's showing the M wheels, should be the 21" Alpinas

They are two different ride, l wouldn't compare these 2 together. This is coming from Alpina driver, also remember Alpina is very exclusive car :0)
Congrats to your brother on his new car.

Fyi Tanzanite looks really black in the dark, so you get the beauty of both if you order Tanza 😍

No worries and thanks to BMW's digital prowess (that's totally sarcastic) you'll be greeted on the iDrive screen with the incorrect rendering as well as the My BMW app for as long as you own the car.

That aside big congrats and am sure you're going to love it!
