Most of us know Alpina brand is something special. But what are the exact ingredients that make these cars so unique? A new documentary goes into detail around the design and production process.

But first some background. Alpina has been creating BMW related products and cars since 1965. What makes Alpina so unique is that they actually are a separate company that takes BMWs and reengineers them (with the BMW’s blessing) to a unique standard. Where M products are engineered to be much more sport focused, Alpina cars are engineered to be near that level of sport while providing high levels of luxury. Or in other words the best of all worlds.
