Thoughts?

>alpina racing parts?
alpina isn't a tuner ya dummy
as cringeworthy as putting amg badges on a basic benz
so yes
>>14782883
yes. its as bad as all of those stock M badges and shit they put on their non M cars.. fake and tryhard
>>14782883
Yes. Now please reconsider before you advertise to the world how hard you're trying to look cool.
OP here. I thought alpina is the equiv of TRD to toyota ?
well, it'd be ricey as fuck
>>14782934
they were the top level go-to turbos on this model engine.

top kek

>blasphemous
no
stupid
yes
>>14783075
No, it's the equivalent of Brabus to Mercedes. TRD is just shit
>>14783075
TRD is basically like those bullshit aftermarket parts you pick up at AutoZone, except with OEM quality control.
and yes, I think it's goofy to put an Alpina badge on a non Alipina car, but it's your car, and the majority of people won't have a clue what it means regardless.
>>14783076
this is actually kinda funny

How come most people go to this analogy? It's wrong.
Brabus is simply a tuner, whereas Alpina is registered as a separate manufacturer.
Even AMG is not the same as Alpina, because they are officially an in-house tuner, not a separate manufacturer (not even with the GT).
The only other equivalent to Alpina is Ruf.
MAAAYbe Bowler, too, but I'm not at all clear on British company law stuff.

FUCKING JUNK

At least in Europe, it's that way for every manufacturer. Somewhere in the early 2000s, laws were made to have everyone use water based paint, for environment.
I'm venturing a guess and say it's that way for Jap, too. Probably murrca as well.
Wanted one of these (1982-1985) for a long time..that so wrong?

>>14786933
AMG was in the same situation as Alpina before 2005, when Mercedes bought them out
>>14783295
>>14786883
I don't get it
>>14787527
You'll shit brix when you do ;)
>>14787541
Is it about bmw drivers not using turn signals? Only thing i see here
>>14782883
It's absolutely fucking abhorrent.
Alpina is to BMW what Brabus is to Mercedes. It's a company that takes BMWs and makes them faster, more luxurious, and more beautiful.
If the M car is the ultimate performance variant of a BMW, then an Alpina is the ultimate luxury variant of a BMW.

Water-based paints for you there. Every automaker's paint looks like this nowadays. The only way to really get rid of it is by wetsanding, but the amount of labor required to do it right just isn't worth it for the majority of people.

>is it blasphemous
you already drive a turkmobile
>>14787527
It's a real M3 with more modest 3 series badging
