A cut above: 2015 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe review notes - Autoweek
Is the extra 25K for more power and luxury worth it. Yes, yes it is. ROAD TEST EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: This whole Alpina setup is gorgeous. The hunter green metallic paint sets off the 15-spoke Alpina wheels, and the GC version looks long and low sitting in a driveway. Inside, Alpina pushed an already good interior into the stratosphere, as long as you like semi-loud colors. I can’t say for sure if it’s cherry wood, but it’s the color of cherry wood. this Alpina has green and blue, which might even look a little cooler. So I took it through a car wash, threw it in neutral as you’re supposed to, and the thing sounded like mission control before a launch with all of the buzzers and beeps going off. Thankfully it didn’t hit the automatic brakes, as there were several cars behind me. I appreciated that BMW put all of the safety sensor stuff in one place to the left of the steering wheel. A tap-tap-tap seemed to disengage all of the active safety stuff, just not the beeps. So this Gran Coupe has the Driving Dynamics Control and Adaptive Drive with Alpina software and active roll stabilization. That means it has the settings for sport, comfort and eco, and I swear I could feel the difference in this car more than any other. Source: autoweek.com
