This company is so about blue that their standard color is actually called 'Alpina Blue' they also like their logo in blue as you can see here:
Same color different camera 4 years later:

Glad you like it. It's my favorite when it comes to European luxury gliders.

I wish I could shop for the car of my dreams. But my income doesn't allow that. I bought a 1992 Voyager 4 years ago . The van had 130,000 and I bought it from a 98 year old woman who's son was selling it cause she couldn't drive anymore.
I thought I was getting a great deal, but as of this year, the engine began to smoke and the car began to leak oil like a sieve then It would just quit on me. So I had to choice but to sell it for scrap. Now I am hoping that it won't be too long that I can invest the money and put in amounts from time to time and get another surprize car. Maybe it will last longer.
I always say to people, I can't afford the smell in the newer cars so I have to wait till the "new car" smell is gone before I can purchase it... =)

It's like RUF from Porsche isn't it?

Yes, RUF is also a registered manufacturer but their cooperation with Porsche is not even close to the one Alpina have with BMW like having their cars assembled at BMW, serviced at BMW dealerships and Alpina often times doing development for BMW engine and motorsport programs. In case you know the 335/535d engine, that is an Alpina design.

Oh and as for RUF another difference is they rarely ever go racing which Alpina love to do:
