ALPINA B4 S: We approved of the car the first time we drove it - thankfully now the DVLA does too

摘要

Some will have clocked the fact that our Alpina hasn't been seen in these pages since 20 February, almost three months ago. An explanation is now required. Has the road-test desk been enjoying the car's unassuming but quite devastating performance too much to have bothered to file a single report? Plausible, but no. Has the car suffered some embarrassing mechanical catastrophe and quietly been shuffled from the limelight? Thankfully not.
