REVIEW: The Alpina B4 is a four-door sheep packing wolf-like punch, with torque figures to rival Ferrari's F8 Tributo 👀 Does it put that power to good use?
But what about B-roads? Well, here the B4 majors in stability and accuracy. Alpina meddles with the suspension geometry of the M440i xDrive donor car to excellent effect, and the resulting steering response is crisper yet also more resolute, with more ebb and flow to the weighting. Perfectly linear, too.
It’s not uncouth, though. This revised S58 unit is a little monotone and uniform in its delivery but it’s also silky-smooth, with prodigiously good throttle response for something heavily blown. The only real criticism is that there's still the slight boosty lump of torque in the delivery at low engine speeds, which is something lots of modern Alpinas have had.
The only other and debatable drawback concerning this powertrain is that, in top gear, the car naturally wants to sit in excess of the speed limit. Plenty of other thoroughbreds also do this, and it pays to either set the limiter or keep an eye on the blue-skinned digital instrument binnacle. The B4 Gran Coupé wears big speeds so serenely that you really could hit triple figures without immediately realising it.
Fundamental reservations? There are few, if any. The B4 is expensive, but if you avoid the high-performace brakes and the laser headlights , it isn’t outrageously so and you’ll never see another one. I’m less convinced about the hatchbacked silhouette, which is a bit ungainly, although that’s hardly Alpina’s fault. The B3 saloon is more classically proportioned.
Maybe the most important thing is to know that the B4 GC doesn’t have the same agility or playfulness as an M4 Competition. It’s no slower and is 95% as precise but it is more aloof and, while still seriously well balanced, is more stability focused and nose led in its handling. It'll rotate neatly but overall it's simply the less enchanting, adjustable and exciting car on the right road.However, on an annual basis, it’s probably a sweeter car to own than any M alternative.
