The 322km/h Alpina B5 Touring is the ULTIMATE SLEEPER!

There's a certain something about an incredibly fast yet discrete estate car, and the Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring is up there with the best you can find! As the fastest station wagon available to buy with a top speed of 322km/h, the 5 Series estate features a host of Alpina specific aspects that make it more exclusive than otherwise so join me for a full tour and driving experience to find out what it's like.

With a 4.4l V8, the Alpina B5 Biturbo offers 608ps and 800nm to help propel it to the top speed. However, it does this in style and comfort without a huge sense of drama, making it an absolute sleeper with immense capability but without shouting about it. On the exterior there are updates bumpers and small visual changes, while the interior features a new look dashboard.

During the Alpina Drive Day at the Salzburgring, we kick off in the paddock to take a tour of the specifics to the car before heading out for a brief drive to get an understanding of what it's all about.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Oh come on. This car is the ultimate dad car and I love it very much.

What a car, cooler than most sports/supercars, imo

*RIP Niki Lauda* It was fitting that you were in Austria for this video. The country of Lauda himself 🇦🇹

This was probably my favourite car at the Geneva show this year, every time I passed I stopped and looked at it, especially in that green.

I don't like the rear Alpina badges, they are too big and not very well placed.

Alpina always does a BMW in an absolutely tasteful way. Killer looks and performance to follow

Hey Tim, would you pick the B5 over an M5? Would love to hear your answer. #shquad

[tomduffy]

You can’t beat the look of estate cars. Simply superb.

Instead of using the track where you picked the car up, you decided to take it out and cruise along like a grandma. Not even a 0-100 pull. Man, that´s the way to test a 600HP car... ^^

Choosing between an Audi RS6 and this, I think I would opt for the BMW. I love the colour combination as well. The brown leather with the green.. I love it! The subtle differences between an Alpina and a regular BMW are really up my street. Basically the more discrete M5 estate that BMW doesn’t make.

Please bring this to the US! Love my X5M, but would take this over it any day to get lower to ground without losing practicality. What a beautiful car Alpina!

[T.-dm]

Personally for me, I'd take Alpina over classic BMW any day.

[tomslater]

Alpina are very understated, yet are outrageously fast! Not a massive fan of the colour however I know it’ll have the capability to take out a lot of sports cars!
You should do more Alpina content shmee! 👍🏻

[mousiee]

Love the subtle exterior and luxurious interior. Wish we got more Alpina options in the US. Beautiful car!

[thehdz]

Never thought about keeping a vehicle all my life until I saw this. One day I'll get it

[leerob]

That's the fastest opening and closing automatic tailgate I have ever seen! I would love to find out that Alpina had upgraded those motors too, haha.

[peraspera]

Everybody talking about the Alpina but i'm all about the Alpine A110 in the parking lot

I have seen one of these tonight in Rothenburg ob Tauber and it sounded wonderful...no pops and bangs, just a quiet and purposeful deep chested burble. Understated...but very effective. I think you need one Tim...forget gaudy...go subtle!😎😎
