    Are there even any M5's left to defend their illegitimate rule? Their time as benevolent dictators screeching about the superiority of their rickety tractor engines should be long in the past, as they have been relegated to a footnote in museums, to serve as an example to the rich for what occurs when the reliable hard-working commoners realize they have them outnumbered in practical capability and robustness. Surely the civilized and sophisticated M60B40s and their B30 exuberant children have brought order and progress to the land of motoring, as they keep on clocking in productive and unregrettable miles upon miles of driving satisfaction across the countryside.

    The real royalty these days are the S50/S52 swapped 525i's, making decent power with almost zero maintenance required, along with having the best gearbox ever bestowed to a BMW, aka the ZF 310z. And of course there are those few with S54 swaps and S62 swaps, those are the all-powerful oligarchs.

    As far as clout goes, yeah we're talking S54/62/65/85 swaps, but these were already thrown into the wizard/warlock bucket no?

    I'll play demon lord over the horizon with my K20C1 lol.

    Alpina B10 4.6 Touring
    You think the B10 BiTurbo is the Emperor and the M5 is the Reigning Royalty?

    This is the view of a lovely red Alpina B10 4.6 from a B10 BiTurbo from a 30mph/50kph rolling start...



    Admittedly with 507 B10 BiTurbo's built and just 46 B10 4.6 cars made the 4.6 is even more rare but with the same 340bhp as a 3.8 M5 and 354lbft of torque compared to the M5's 295, it is just 20bhp and less than 30lbft behind the BiTurbo with the torque available much lower down and the power not delayed by a turbo or two, hence the little chase as the big 4.6 got the better getaway.

    In case you haven't seen one, here's mine, no highly strained screaming 3.8 or complicated turbo systems and still strong after 168,000 miles ...

    30351_alpina_b10_115_1.jpg

    So what place for the B10 4.6 - the Emperor is aged and unwell a lot of the time, the Kings and Queens are hardly reliable, so the role of protector of the realms should surely be the B10 4.6; rare, aloof, the existence barely whispered about but the might and power to support the Emperor and quell the Kings and Queens.

    ALL HAIL THE M60B46! The B10 4.6 has clearly been revealed as the almighty power of the universe, displacing the false idol - the Emperor B10 BiTurbo! Let it be known the true guiding light of motoring nirvana was, and always has been, the all-powerful upper echelon of M60 bloodline. The Alpina B10 4.6 ushers in a new era of enlightenment as its endless power and wisdom provides a sense of prosperity to the citizens of the E34 Kingdom!

    Indeed the members of the E34 royal family are far and wide but there is only one Jester of The Court. Kings and queens may rule but they all fear MAGIK.

    540 M Sport 6 speed, Nikasil, Cosmos Black/black, Ground Control/Konis, SuperSprint cat back, SSSquid stage 1.5, UUC Ultimate Clutch/Lightweight Flywheel, Schrick cam, 3.14 LSD/25% lock up, K&N panel filter, Epsilon Plus trunk spoiler, 18" O Z Racing Monte Carlos, Michelin Pilot Sports, M Tech II wheel, silver powder coated calipers, braided lines, Hella smilies w/ blue fogs and city lights, LEDs all around, kill switch. Murdered. Road ready by September.
