It's an improvement over the 'standard' X3.... :)

Lovely but pricey - it starts at £55k (€60k) before options!

It won't be to all tastes but considering most on here own  x3 x5 x6 I can see why chris posted this.......thanks for sharing. I would settle for one with black paint btw.

Agreed. BMW just seem to be going through a bad stage at the minute.

I meant the Q5 bring a turd
You get lots of old people driving them
With rubbish colours
That horrendous grey
Why would you buy a car in that colour
I think if bmw done a X3M
If would be a better car than the Q5

Well I have actually driven an F25 quite progressively on twisty  B- Roads & IMO it was superb. I am fairly optimistic that the Alpina will drive very nicely.
