Nothing about this thing is M5. All Alpinas are upgraded versions of mid-trim BMWs, just like AMGs were upgraded versions of mid-trim Benzes before 2005-08ish.

Sorry, that might be wrong. SportAuto says:
0 - 100 : 4.8s;
0 - 160 : 9.7s;
0 - 200 : 14,7s
Although I think I have posted lower times for the Touring version, which I have also added. The times might not be the best.

SportAuto claims a 0 - 100 time of 4.2 seconds (http://www.sportauto-online.de/vergleichstest/sportlimousinen-im-duell-bmw-alpina-b5s-gegen-jaguar-xf-r-1332269.html).
